Selective portasystemic shunts were performed in 55 consecutive patients; 27 underwent end-to-end selective renosplenic shunt, 18 distal splenorenal shunt and 10 splenocaval shunt. Thirty-one patients were in Child's class A, 18 were in class B and 6 in class C. Hospital mortality for the whole group was 16 percent and occurred less frequently in class A than in class B and C patients. Five year predicted survival for the whole group was 59 percent. At the same period of follow-up, class A patients had a higher survival rate than those in class B and C (83 percent versus 36 percent; p < 0.01). No striking difference in 5 year survival was evident in alcoholics and nonalcoholics (52 percent versus 61 percent). After surgery, long-term portasystemic encephalopathy and bleeding were noted in 2 of 36 survivors. For class A patients, selective portal shunts offer an adequate and relative safe method for decreasing mortality due to variceal bleeding.
