    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the long-term effects of combined splenorenal shunt and porta-azygos devascularization in patients with portal hypertension. METHOD: We analysed retrospectively the follow-up results of 140 portal hypertensive patients undergoing the combined therapy in our hospital from April 1978 to April 1997. Changes of portal hemodynamics were studied by Doppler Flowmeter and DSA pre- and-postoperatively and direct FPP measurement intraoperatively. RESULT: The operative mortality was 3.6%. No rebleeding was noted in a short period and rebleeding rate was 8.3% in a long term follow-up. The rate of postoperative hepatic encephalopathy was 5.0%. The long-term survival rate of 5-, 10- and 15-years was 83.6%, 64.5% and 54.5%, respectively. After operation FPP and PVP decreased significantly (P < 0.01) and FPP maintained at the level of 3.2 +/- 0.4 kPa. CONCLUSION: The combined procedure is a rational and practical procedure for the treatment of patients with portal hypertension.
