Abstract
Abstract Advanced schistosomiasis is an infectious disease, endemic in some regions, with long-term implications for patient care. It can be associated with conditions such as portal hypertension, variceal hemorrhage, chronic hepatic encephalopathy, and hepatocellular carcinoma. In this article, an overview of the most recent data about the role of interventional radiology in the management of these conditions will be presented, as well as the authors' experience on interventional management of schistosomiasis patients.
