The specific contribution of splenic blood inflow to portal hypertension in patients with cirrhosis is still unclear. In this study, we investigated this contribution by assessing the hemodynamic effects of transient splenic artery occlusion. In 15 cirrhotic patients, portal pressure gradient (PPG)

Although congestive gastric mucosal circulation has been suggested in patients with portal-hypertensive gastropathy, whether it is due to "active" (overflow) or "passive" (stasis) congestion is not known. To answer this question, we assessed regional gastric mucosal blood flow with laser Doppler flo
## Purpose: Using the color doppler velocity profile (cdvp), we investigated portal hemodynamics and their relationship with esophageal variceal bleeding (evb) in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. ## Methods: The hemodynamics of the portal trunk, right anterior portal branch, and s
In recent years many studies have suggested that somatostatin may be useful in the treatment of patients with bleeding esophageal varices, although there is still some controversy on this point (1-5). The mechanisms through which somatostatin exerts its beneficial therapeutic effects in patients wit
