Borrmann Type 3 tumor with pyloric stenosis, which result in bleeding (Fig. 1a). Biopsy of the tumor revealed adenocarcinoma. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan showed a tumor in the pyloric region and enlarged pyloric lymph nodes consistent with metastases (Fig. 1b).
Images from the partial splenic embolization performed by trans-catheter embolization of the inferior branch of the splenic artery. (a) Pre-embolization. (b) Post embolization.

This was performed by trans-catheter embolization of the inferior branch of the splenic artery (Fig. 2).
Change in platelet count over time. The platelet count increased to 56,000/muL on the day of the gastric resection after partial splenic embolization and high-dose immunoglobulin therapy.
