PARTIAL PORTOSYSTEMIC SHUNTING BY CARBON-COATED ePTFE GRAFTS FOR PORTAL HYPERTENSION IN CIRRHOTIC PATIENTS

PARTIAL PORTOSYSTEMIC SHUNTING BY CARBON-COATED ePTFE GRAFTS FOR PORTAL HYPERTENSION IN CIRRHOTIC PATIENTS

We present our first experience gained in use of polytetrafluoroethylene carbon-coated grafts for partial portosystemic shunting in three cirrhotic patients. The results obtained indicate that these grafts in mesocaval position can function as a long-term «bridge» to hepatic transplantation in patie...
