BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: In children with portal vein (PV) thrombosis, hepatopetal portal flow can be restored by an innovative surgical procedure, the meso-portal-bypass (MPB), if the umbilical portion of...
The creation of a portal vein stenosis with a diameter of 1.2 mm in Wistar rats resulted in a sustained elevation of the portal vein pressure to approximately twice the control value lasting for at le...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of somatostatin on hepatic and portal hemodynamics and portal venous pressure in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension. METHOD: Colorful doppler ultrasonogra...
BACKGROUND: The effect of an angiotensin II blockade in lowering the portal pressure in patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension is controversial. This prospective study was undertaken to...
Three cases of prehepatic portal vein thrombosis, complicated by the clinical manifestations of portal hypertension, were successfully treated by surgically created splanchnic-intrahepatic portal bypa...
OBJECTIVE: To explore the characteristics of the portal vein hemodynamics and the correlation with the portal vein pressure. METHODS: There were 41 cases of hepatic cirrhosis complicating portal hyper...
Little is known about the effects of the pathological process associated with idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH) on hepatic lymph vessels or lymph flow. We used morphometric analysis to examine IPH-...
