    Abstract:
    The article deals with results of treatment of 82 patients with portal hypertension. Endovascular embolization of the splenic artery was used in 49 patients; percutaneous transhepatic embolization of esophageal veins--in 24 patients. Positive results were obtained in chronic occlusion of the splenic artery and in a stepwise use of endovascular interventions. Emergent embolization of esophageal varices is recommended in patients with esophageal hemorrhage.
