title: [The state of the veins of the esophagus and the stomach in chronic diffuse liver diseases (based on data from a combined roentgeno-endoscopic and echographic study)].
abstract: Combined roentgenological and endoscopic investigation was used to study the state of the esophageal submucous veins. Echography was used for investigation of the gastric subserous veins and esophageal abdominal veins. The results obtained indicate that in the presence of portal hypertension there are two types of shunting: via the esophageal submucous (82%) and subserous (18%) veins. In patients with the predominant affection of the esophageal subserous veins x-ray investigation and endoscopy do not allow correct estimation of the presence and a degree of the gastroesophageal shunt. Echography results enable one to arrive at a correct conclusion in all patients.
