Portal hypertension due to pre-hepatic blockage
Hipertensión portal por bloqueo pre - hepático
Resumen:
Portal Hypertension caused by prehepatic block should be suspected in the case of high digestive hemorrhage coupled with important splenomegaly, with maintenance of hepatic function and hypersplenia. Confirmation of diagnosis is obtained by endoscopy which shows gastroesophageal varices and absence of any other type of b!eeding Jesions. Splenoportography confirms diagnosis and locates block topography, besides indicating the type of anastomosis which is convenient or possible.In some cases specially during hemorrhage which cannot be controlled by medica! treatment hemostatic surgery has to be performed.The author's experience comprises 19 cases operated, 13 of them splenorenal anastomosis and 6 hemostatic operations with 11 % fatality rate.
La H. P. por bloqueo prehepático debe sospecharse cuando frente a una hemorragia digestiva alta se encuentra una importante esplenectomegalia con una función hepática conservada y signos de hiperesplenia. La confirmación del diagnóstioo se obtendrá por endoscopía al mostrar las várices gastroesofágicas, yla ausencia de otro tipo de lesiones sangrantes. La E. P. G. confirmará el diagnóstico y localizará la topografía del bloqueo indicando qué tipo de anastomosis es conveniente o posible. En algunos, casos, sobre todo en plena hemorragia, no controlable por tratamiento médfoo, se deberá recurrir a las operaciones hemostáticas.Se presenta la experiencia personal con 19 casos intervenidos en los que se realizaron 13 anastomosis esplenorenales y 6 operaciones hemostáticas con 11 % de mortalidad.
