Controversy exists as to the nature of gastric perfusion in portal-hypertensive gastropathy. To investigate portal hemodynamics and gastric mucosal perfusion in cirrhotic patients with and without portalhypertensive gastropathy, we subjected 56 cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension to portal v

This study investigated the effects of the short-term administration of propranolol on gastric blood perfusion in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertensive gastropathy. Portal hypertensive gastropathy is a common cause of nonvariceal bleeding in cirrhosis, which is associated with increased gastri
## AND JCAN RODES~ Gastric mucosal perfusion is increased in portalhypertensive gastropathy, and this may contribute to gastric bleeding from these lesions. Therefore drugs reducing gastric mucosal perfusion may be beneficial in the treatment of overt bleeding from portal-hypertensive gastropathy.
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
