Abstract：Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of combined portoazygous devascularization and shunt on portal hypertension. Methods The data of 56 cases of portal hypertension treated with portoazygous devascularization and shunt from April 1987 to April 1999 was summarized. Results There was no death in 54 patients receiving selective operation;of 2 cases receiving emergency operation, one died. Among 49 followed-up cases, there was one rebleeding,2 hepatic encephalopathy, and one died of liver failure 4 years after opeation. The mean portal pressure before and after operation was(3.42±0.46) kPa and (2.50±0.35) kPa, respectively. Conclusion Combined portoazygons devascularization and shunt not only decreases portal pressure but preserve hepatic blood flow to some extent.
