Percutaneous transhepatic portal catheterization was performed in 68 cases of liver diseases in the 2 year period from 1978 to 1980. The Chiba University method was modified. Portal vein catheterization was successful in 61 cases (90%). Selective splenic vein catheterization was successful in 55 of the 61 cases (90%) and selective superior mesenteric vein catheterization in 59 cases (97%). The liver was punctured an average of 4.6 times in order to successfully insert the catheter into the main portal vein, and the number of punctures was less than 10 in 57 of the 61 cases (93%). The portal vein pressure was 310+/-67 mm H2O in idiopathic portal hypertension (8 cases), 290+/-83 in liver cirrhosis (33 cases), 193+/-71 in chronic hepatitis (7 cases) and 166+/-50 in fatty liver (4 cases). Portal vein pressure rose from 205+/-75 to 380+/-55 mm H2O in 11 cases after forced Valsalva maneuver. No major complications were encountered.
