Abstract

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical significance of arterial portography in the diagnosis an d management of prehepatic type portal hypertension(PHPHT). Met hodsBetween 2000 to 2002, all the 11 patients with PHPHT were dia gnosed by angiography and B type ultrasounography. Different operations were par formed including mesocaval shunt in 5 patients,portal-vena cava shunt in 1, splenorenal shunt in 2,and portoazygos venous disconection in 1. Two patien ts were not operated. Results Nine cases undergoing surgical operations had satisfactory outcome. Conclusions PHPHT can be correctly diagnosed by indirect portal venography which is important for the choice of operation.
