[Results of partial shunting in liver cirrhosis]

Complex hemodynamical investigations were conducted in 32 patients before the operation and after performance of partial portosystemic shunting (in 8--mesentericocaval anastomosis was done, in 10--central splenorenal one, in 12--splenorenal side-to-side, in 2--lowermesenterial-renal). The formation of anastomosis 8-10 mm in diameter had promoted the sufficient reduction of pressure in v. porta, preservation in it the hepatopetal blood flow, prophylaxis of uncontrolled occurrence of portosystemic encephalopathy, had secured the stable hepatic function during 36 months.
