Abstract:
In order to study the diagnostic and the therapeutic value of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in portal hypertension, we performed arterioportography 68 times and hepatic venography 11 times on 52 cases with clinically suspected portal hypertension. Seven portal hypertension cases caused by hepatic cancer were treated with transcatheter hepatic artery infusion of anticancerous agent, and one with the stricture of inferior vena cava on hepatic segment was treated by balloon catheter dilatation. Our results showed that, DSA is a safe, reliable and advanced diagnostic technique for portal hypertension, it can also be used as a therapeutic measure in some cases.
