Résumé
Objective To investigate the short-term and long-term effect of cornary-caval shunt accompanied by pericardial devascularization in the treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by portal hypertension.Methods Eleven patients with portal hypertension underwent cornary-caval shunt accompanied by partial pericardial devascularization were chosen.Of the 11 patients 6 applied autogenous splenic veins for graft and in 5 cases the coronary vein and inferior vena cava were anastomosed directly.Results Of the 11 patients,no operative mortality or early rebleeding.All patients were followed up from 5 months to 11 years with an average of 5 years and 3 months,of whom two died,others having no rebleeding or hepatic encephalopathy.Conclusion Cornary-caval shunt is a highly selective portosystemic shunt.Cornary-caval shunt accompanied by pericardial devascularization is a surgical treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by portal hypertension for its apparent regional antihypertensive effect,the normal blood flow of liver,and reduction of the incidence of rebleeding.
