The results are set out of emergency or electiver surgery for bleeding oesophageal carices or for intractable ascites in hepatic cirrhosis. The procedure adopted, a meso-caval shunt with prothesis interposition, led to a low percentage of thrombosis, markedly lowered portal pressure, and gave effective clinical results. Although angiography indicated that the portal flow to the liver had dropped considerably, or even ceased altogether, the bad effect on liver function and the incidence of encephalopathy seemed reduced than generally reported after porta-cava shunts. No deaths occurred among the patients for who surgery had been planned, but the rate was still high in emergency cases. This indicates that although well tolerated, the interposition meso-cava shunt is best performed after careful pre-operative selection and preparation.
