Research advances in interventional treatment of cirrhotic portal hypertension / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Portal hypertension is one of the main clinical manifestations of decompensated cirrhosis. A series of complications due to cirrhotic portal hypertension, such as esophagogastric variceal bleeding, hypersplenism, and intractable ascites, greatly threaten human health. Since the application of the radiological interventional technique in the treatment of portal hypertension in the 1970s, this technique has gradually become mature over the past few decades, and more improvements and new techniques have been applied in clinical practice, with an increasing number of evidence for its efficacy and safety. This article summarizes related articles in China and foreign countries and reviews the clinical application of interventional techniques in patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension, in order to guide the treatment of patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension.
