collateral network through the coronary and short gastric veins to the azygos vein

-
Portal vein thrombosis
-
Schistosomiasis
-
Alcoholic cirrhosis
-
Budd-Chiari syndrome
-
Constrictive pericarditis
Question 5
Question
Alcohol cirrhosis, the most common cause of portal hypertension, usually causes increased resistance to portal flow at
Answer
-
the presinusoidal and sinusoidal levels
-
the sinusoidal and postsinusoidal levels
-
only the presinusoidal level

Answer
-
portal vein thrombosis

anemia
Question 8
Question
A patient with liver cirrhosis and diagnosed esophageal varices is admitted to the hospital with low haemoglobin level and hematemesis. You already ensured adequate access (two large-bore intravenous lines), fluid infusion, type and crossmatch of blood, and judicious blood and products transfusion. How do you proceed?
Answer
-
prepare the patient for operation - total or selective shunt
-
prepare the patient for liver transplantation
-
prepare the patient for TIPS (transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt)
-
prepare the patient for endoscopic treatment (e.q., sclerosis or ligation)
-
perform a balloon tamponade with Sengstaken-Blakemore tube

Question
Which is the most frequent complication in patients with portal hypertension who underwent non-selective shunt operation?
Answer
-
leukopenia
-
thrombocytopenia
-
ascites
-
rebleeding from esophageal varices
-
postoperative encephalopathy

Answer
-
left gastric-venacaval shunt
-
the distal splenorenal shunt
-
the end-to-side portacaval shunt
-
side-to-side portacaval shunt
-
none of the above
Question 11
Question
