Abstract: | The complex investigation of central hemodynamics by methods of sphygmography and tachooscillography was carried out in 98 patients with the syndrome of portal hypertension (59 with cirrhosis of the liver and 39 without cirrhosis) who were subjected to various operations. Central hemodynamics was shown to be normalized by shunting operations especially by proximal splenorenal venous anastomosis in combination with splenectomy. Organ anastomoses in combination with splenectomy are inferior in this respect to vascular anastomoses and ligation of the splenic artery. |
