    Journal: Acta Chir Scand; 1984; 150(1):109-11. PubMed ID: 6608197.
    Abstract:
    Portal hypertension and variceal bleeding are discussed in relation to the history of a patient with primary biliary cirrhosis. Beta-blockade and sclerotherapy failed to prevent recurrent bleeding and a shunt operation had to be done. In this patient the portal venous pressure increased despite continuous propranolol administration.
