[Peculiarities of splanchnic hemodynamics after performance of partial portosystemic shunting]
Abstract:
Complex hemodynamical investigations were conducted in 1985-2004 yrs in 60 patients with hepatic diseases before the operation, in 6-8 and 12-24 months after performance of portosystemic shunting operation (in 26 patients was formed H-like mesentericocaval anastomosis, in 10--central splenorenal anastomosis, in 14--splenorenal anastomosis side-to-side, in 10--H-like splenorenal anastomosis). Performance of shunting operation had promoted the lowering of volumetric speed of blood flow and pressure in portal vein, her diameter reduction, the general hepatic blood flow lowering. The lowering of blood flow in the portal vein system after the shunting have caused enhancement of arterial hepatic blood flow.

Hepatic Portal System
At its core, the hepatic portal vein is the result of a confluence of the superior and inferior mesenteric veins along with the splenic vein. Each of these veins has a unique role. The superior mesenteric vein is responsible...
