Partial portacaval shunts were performed in 25 patients with cirrhosis with portal hypertension and esophageal varices, either as a primary procedure (n 16) or for failure of endoscopic sclerotherapy (n= 9), with...
متن کاملLow density and high density lipoprotein turnover following portacaval shunt in swine.
Turnover of 125I-low density lipoprotein (LDL) and of 131I-high density lipoprotein (HDL) was determined before and after end-to-side portacaval shunt in eight swine. LDL (d 1.019-1.063) and HDL (d.1.09-1.21) were isolated by ultracentrifugation and iodinated by the iodine monochloride technique. Immediately postoperatively there was no consistent change in the fractional catabolic rate (FCR) o...
