Under analysis are results of operative treatment of 54 patients with cirrhosis of the liver. Most satisfactory hemodynamic results were obtained after endovascular embolisation of the splenic artery as the increased general hepatic blood flow and simultaneously decreased splenic blood flow, better indices of intracardiac hemodynamics. The method of peritoneoatrial shunting is most perspective in patients with cirrhosis of the liver at the stage of decompensation of portal hypertension.

The ESA used in the complex surgical treatment of patients facilitates the compensation of the portal blood circulation.
