  • Title: [Indications, value and limitations of azygos-portal disconnection in the treatment of esophageal varices].
    Author: Cariati E, Taviani M, Pellicci R, Pellicari D, Ceraudo E.
    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1978 May 31; 33(10):595-606. PubMed ID: 662109.
    Abstract:
    Satisfactory results obtained, lasting for years in some cases, following azygos-portal disconnection in selected patients with bleeding oesophageal varices, portal hypertension, splenopathy and gastroduodenal ulcer are referred to. It is suggested that wider use should be made of this technique, particularly in patients in poor condition, because the long-term picture does not include the hyperammoniaemic encephalopathy often associated with extensive portosystemic shunts.
