[The state of the vascular bed of the small intestine in patients with portal hypertension].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the condition of vascular channel of small bowel in patients with portal hypertension.


METHODS
We examined 60 patients from 17 to 70 years, 30 with cirrhosis of different etiologies and 30 with other gastrointestinal diseases, amounted control group. Patients were divided into 2 groups: the main and control: group 1--primary--patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Group 2--control--patients without liver disease and portal hypertension who underwent videocapsule endoscopy.


RESULTS
On the results of research, we can conclude that all patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension have various vascular changes of small bowel. We examined patients in the course of the work revealed the following: 1. Varicose vein expansion and increased vascular pattern in 70% of patients. 2. Arteriovenous malformation in 12% of patients. 3. Angiodisplaziya 11%. 4. Delafua defect in 4%. 5. Bleeding in 3%. The combination of vascular disease in patients with liver disease and portal hypertension syndrome accounted for 70%. In the control group of patients vascular channel pathology dated only in 2% of cases in the form of strengthening of vascular pattern of small bowel.


CONCLUSIONS
Videocapsule endoscopy is a highly informative diagnostic method for assessing the condition of vascular channel of the intestine in patients with portal hypertension. Carrying out videocapsule endoscopy is highly effective and comfortable for patients, which greatly improves their quality of life. Timely detection of vascular disease in patients with portal hypertension using videocapsule endoscopy can prevent such severe complications as gastrointestinal bleeding especially from the deep divisions of bowel which are not available to other research methods.
