The clinical choice in the method of interventional treatment to portal hypertension / 中华放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the selection of reasonable interventional treatment to portal hypertension under different conditions.Methods The data of 76 patients with portal hypertension and interventional treatment from 1997 to 2002 were retrospectively analyzed. 26 patients were treated with transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic stent shunt (TIPSS). Of these 26 patients, 11 patients suffered from hemorrhage after surgery treatment by devascularization, 6 patients with hemorrhage after stomach mirror treatment, and 9 patients with ineffective medicine treatment. 50 patients were treated with percutaneous transhepatic variceal embolization (PTVE) combined with partial splenic embolization (PSE), and they all showed inefficacy by medicine treatment. Free portal pressure (FPP) in pre- and post-treatment was measured in all 76 cases. The hepatic volume was measured by spiral-CT before and one year after the treatment.Results In TIPSS group, FPP was reduced from (3.85?0.42) kPa to (3.09?0.44) kPa (( t= 3.682, P
