Abstract

Splenoportovenography (SPV) was performed as an outpatient procedure in 172 patients to investigate portal hypertension. Careful technique and proper patient selection were responsible for the high success rate (95.3%) and the low complication rate (7.0%). We conclude that SPV done as an outpatient procedure is safe in expert hands and is economical.
