| Popis: | IN recent years the technic of measuring the pressure in the wedged hepatic vein by means of catheterizing the hepatic vein has been utilized for assessing the level of the portal-vein pressure in man. On the basis of numerous studies, both in laboratory animals and in man,1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 acceptance has been gained for the concept that the wedged-hepatic-vein pressure, which actually reflects intrasinusoidal pressure, mirrors quite closely the portal-vein pressure in the normal person as well as in patients who have liver disease. The rationale for the assumption that the wedge-pressure recording provides a reasonably accurate picture of the portal-vein pressure . . . |
