US, ultrasound (the size of the spleen was measured via US, the presence of aneurysm, size of the splenic artery, and presence of variceal shunting were described according to the computed tomography). Continuous variables are expressed as mean ad standard deviation. Categorical variables are expressed as number and percentage. Wilcoxon signed-rank test (significant p < 0.05).
