ABSTRACT

Objective In order to investigate the therapeutic effects of portal arterialization for portal hypertension,portal arterialization and complete shunt(PACS) was applied in canine model of portal hypertension,which was made by thread embolization within the portal vein.Methods A splenectomy,splenic artery and upper portal vein anastomosis,and a complete portal-caval shunt were performed on portal hypertension dogs.The blood pressure and flow of the portal vein including that towards the liver and towards the vena cava were observed.Results The postoperative hepatic inflow,PVF,increased to 180% of the former while PVP increased to 196%;the caval-inflow PVF increased to 130% of the former while PVP decreased to 45.5%.Significant difference existed(P
