Intrahepatic pressures measured during laparoscopy.
Intrahepatic pressure measured during laparoscopy were all correlated to occluded hepatic vein pressures and thereby to the portal vein pressures. Assessment of the intrahepatic pressures increases the diagnostic yield of laparoscopy, and should be used whenever it is important to quantitate the pressure in the portal circulation.
