Angiographic diagnosis of the prehepatic portal hypertension

Abstract

After the experience gained in the examination of more than 400 patients with portal hypertension, one can say that thrombosis is a factor not to be neglected. It appeared in 25% of all cases and in 50% of all cases as a cause of liver cirrhosis. The representation of the vena coeliaca mesentenica is essential for a reliable detection of thrombosis. Splenoportography is less frequently applied due to the known contraindications and is restricted to more demanding and complex problems. The detection of thrombotic changes is also important because such areas prohibit surgical measures such as by-passes. Also important is the preventive discovery of a portal thrombosis in the course of a complicated, bleeding liver cirrhosis. A pre-operative angiographic diagnosis is necessary in planned portocaval shunt procedures of cirrholic liver alterations. The surgeon has to know beforehand whether pyle thrombosis can be excluded or detected. In the latter case, a thrombotectomy has to be performed, which, however, does not impede good treatment results.
