RÉSUMÉ
By using a micro-sensor through an endoscope,the esophageal variceal pressure in 94 patients with cirrhosis was measured.The results of the measurement were as follow:in 5 cases with Ⅱ-degree,it was 2.68?0.18 kPa,varices in 26 cases with Ⅲ-degree,it was 2.90?0.23 kPa,while in 63 cases of Ⅳ-degree varices,it was 3.51?0.33 kPa.The results suggested that there was a significant correlation between the pressure of esophageal varices with the degree of varices (r=0.313,P=0.01).The method seemed to be a valuable non-invading technic for evaluating the degree of varices.
RÉSUMÉ
This article reports on 217 patients with cirrhosis before sclerotherapy. It was observed that there was relationship between the 10 indexes and bleeding, i.e. the diameter of portal vein in bleeding group 1.60?0.29 cm, portal venous flow 986.5?117.8 ml/min, free portal pressure 3.76?0.28 kPa, the esophageal variceal pressure 3.56?0.25 kPa. In the patients with no bleeding, the value were 1.40?0.16 cm, 831.7?53.6 ml/min, 2.79?0.33 kPa, and 2.75?0.31 kPa, respectively. Differences between two groups were significant (P
