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)

This study investigated the correlation between changes in hepatic hemodynamics and esophageal variceal pressuremeasured with a noninvasive, pressure-sensitive endoscopic gaugein 37 portal-hypertensive cirrhotic patients receiving propranolol (0.15 mg/kg, intravenously; n = 21) or placebo (n = 16) u
The aim of this study was to investigate the hemodynamic effects of spironolactone associated with a low-sodium diet (n = 14) or a low-sodium diet alone (n = 9) in patients with compensated cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Spironolactone significantly reduced the plasma volume. This effect was ass
The pathogenesis of variceal hemorrhage is not well understood. Portal pressure and gastroesophageal collateral (azygous) blood flow are similar in patients with cirrhosis with or without a history of variceal bleeding. However, acute increases in these parameters in individual patients might predis
