Sources of Venoarterial Admixture in Portal Hypertension.

چکیده
It has been shown that cirrhosis of the liver is often accompanied by admixture of venous blood to the arterial blood, sometimes to a degree producing cyanosis (1-8). Two possible routes have been demonstrated morphologically: intrapulmonary arteriovenous shunts (2, 9), and channels connecting the portal circulation through esophageal and mediastinal veins with pulmonary veins (10, 11). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the physiological significance of these communications.

متن کاملThe circulation, the lung, and finger clubbing in hepatic cirrhosis.
Haemodynamic and respiratory data were obtained by gasometric methods in two groups of patients with hepatic cirrhosis, who were distinguishable by the presence or absence of finger clubbing. Cardiac index and venoarterial admixture were significantly higher in cases with clubbing; these findings are discussed. However, levels of venoarterial admixture were normal in four with clubbing, which s...
متن کاملMinocycline attenuates cirrhotic cardiomyopathy and portal hypertension in a rat model: Possible involvement of nitric oxide pathway
Objective(s): An increase in nitric oxide (NO) production has been reported in cirrhotic cardiomyopathy and, portal hypertension. Since minocycline has been shown to inhibit NO overproduction, we aimed to examine its role in a rat model of CCl4-induced cirrhotic cardiovascular complications. Materials and Methods: Portal pressure and inotropic responsiveness of isolated papillary muscles to is...

Background: Chronic pancreatitis and perivasculitis is the most common etiology of splenic vein thrombosis (SVT).

We report a case of paraesophageal varices presenting as a posterior mediastinal mass in a patient with long-standing portal hypertension and cirrhosis. The case is unusual because the varices were considerably larger than those usually encountered in portal hypertension. This report is a reminder that portal hypertension with paraesophageal varices can present as a retrocardiac mass on...
