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)

The effects of verapamil on hepatic and systemic hemodynamics and on liver function were investigated in 10 patients with portal hypertension due to advanced micronodular cirrhosis to verify whether, as it has been suggested, this calcium channel blocker may improve liver function and reduce portal
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
