Distal splenorenal shunt is known to effectively control bleeding from esophageal and gastric varices; however, the effect of this selective shunt on liver function is less well understood. We examined retrospectively the effect of distal splenorenal shunt on the survival of 19 patients with primary
Between 1975 and 1983, 303 cirrhotic patients with endoscopically proven major variceal hemorrhage were admitted to the participating hospitals of the Boston-New Haven Collaborative Liver Group. Of these, 274 were evaluated for admission to a prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing porta
We investigated the effect of splenomegaly on portal hemodynamics during and after distal splenorenal shunt with splenopancreatic disconnection in 27 patients with nonalcoholic cirrhosis (13 with and 14 without splenic enlargement). Data were obtained by Doppler flowmetry, electromagnetic flowmetry
