    Author: Dilawari JB, Chawla YK, Raju GS, Kaur U, Bambery P.
    Journal: Can Assoc Radiol J; 1990 Jun; 41(3):146-8. PubMed ID: 2354389.
    Abstract:
    Splenoportovenography (SPV) was performed as an outpatient procedure in 172 patients to investigate portal hypertension. Careful technique and proper patient selection were responsible for the high success rate (95.3%) and the low complication rate (7.0%). We conclude that SPV done as an outpatient procedure is safe in expert hands and is economical.
