5.	Fibrosis (Cirrhosis) 01/01/1989 - "These studies suggest that the delay in clearance of administered particles in portacaval shunt and portacaval transposition rats is related to the portal diversion rather than to altered blood flow and thus the finding is of relevance in patients with cirrhosis who also have significant portacaval shunting." 06/01/1976 - "To study resectability and regeneration of cirrhotic liver, hemodynamic changes following partial hepatectomy were observed in dogs with presinusoidal block caused by ligation of the portal vein or with postsinusoidal block caused by ligation of the hepatic veins after portacaval anastomosis, since cirrhosis of the liver in man is mainly of postsinusoidal block occasionally accompanied by presinusoidal block" 11/03/1967 - "Long-term results of termino-lateral truncal portacaval anastomosis for cirrhosis (study of 100 patients operated between 1959 and 1964)]" 01/01/2007 - "Four patients (cirrhosis 3, portal vein block 1) continued to bleed in the postoperative period following gastro-esophageal devascularization (3) or portacaval shunt (1)" 09/01/2000 - "METHODS: From 1972 to 1999, the authors conducted prospective studies of the treatment of 60 patients with BCS who were divided into three groups: the first had occlusion confined to the hepatic veins treated by direct side-to-side portacaval shunt (SSPCS); the second had occlusion involving the inferior vena cava (IVC) treated by a portal decompressive procedure that bypassed the obstructed IVC; and the third group, who had advanced cirrhosis and hepatic decompensation and were referred too late for treatment by portal decompression, required orthotopic liver transplantation" Order ALL the reference details at left...
