    Percutaneous splenoportography is a safe diagnostic tool for evaluating portal hypertension and esophageal varices. This procedure provides crucial information for surgical planning and postoperative assessment of shunts.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Gastroenterology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Esophageal varices and portal hypertension are serious conditions requiring accurate diagnosis.
    • Preoperative assessment is crucial for effective surgical planning in managing portal hypertension.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and utility of percutaneous splenoportography and splenic pulp pressure measurement.
    • To assess the role of this diagnostic tool in patients with bleeding esophageal varices and portal hypertension of unknown origin.

    Main Methods:

    • Seventy-five percutaneous splenoportographies were performed in 70 patients.
    • Splenic pulp pressure measurements were conducted concurrently.
    • The procedure was utilized for preoperative investigation, etiological evaluation, and postoperative follow-up.
