Article Abstract
Sixteen patients with cirrhosis of the liver and a history of haemorrhaging oesophageal varices all given Warren-type splenorenal bypasses were subjected to intraoperative measurement of portal flow and pressure after the administration of Somatostatin and Glypressin. Glypressin was distinctly more effective in producing a significant and long term reduction in portal flow and pressure. Somatostatin made no significant difference to these parameters.
