Hemodynamic Changes in Patients with Portal Venous Obstruction
Didier Lebrec, Christian Bataille, Eric Bercoff, Dominique Valla – 1 January 1983 – Splanchnic and systemic hemodynamics were evaluated in five adult patients with portal hypertension due to portal venous obstruction and were compared with those of patients with cirrhosis and those of a control group. In patients with portal venous obstruction, the gradient between wedged and free hepatic venous pressures ranged from 2 to 3 mm Hg, as in the control group, and was significantly lower than in patients with cirrhosis.
