Summary:The priority of the surgical correction of portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis belongs to proximal spleno-renal anastomosis. The investigations performed have proved that preliminary embolization of the splenic artery with a metallic spiral should be carried out before placing this anastomosis. It has positive effects on the course of the nearest postoperative period. In addition, the preliminary embolization of the splenic artery may be used as a test of endurability of great cavitary operation on the vessels.
