Core Tip	Splenic artery steal syndrome (SASS) is a rare but severe vascular complication after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Splenic artery embolization has been reported to treat SASS, which could induce local ischemic necrosis of the spleen, infection and septicemia. We proved that banding the proximal splenic artery, whose diameter exceeds 5 mm and/or 1.5 times of the diameter of the hepatic artery, during the OLT was an effective preventive intervention. We also recommend occluding the splenic artery temporarily as a new therapeutic intervention, by which, the possible complications of splenic artery embolization could be avoided.
