[An experimental study on circulation changes of the left gastric vessels in schistosomiasis cirrhosis]

An experimental study on circulating changes of left gastric vessels in schistosomiasis was done on animal models. The result favoured the theory of A-V shunt and local hyperdynamic status. It is important for not only understanding the pathogenesis of the disease but also for selecting the operative procedures. According to this theory, the coronary-caval shunt is a procedure of choice for some cases.
