摘要
Abdominal surgery in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension is associated with high incidence ofdisease and mortality.In these patients,oncological gastric procedures with lymph-nodes dissection show much higher complication rates than in normotensive portal vein patients.Thus,normalization of portal vein pressure may be a favorable determinant factor to reduce complications.We report a case of a patient with hepatitis C virus-related hepatic cirrhosis,esophageal varices,portal hypertension and gastric cancer.We demonstrated the efficacy of a preoperative trans-jugular porto-systemic shunt to perform oncological radical resection more safely.We retained preoperative the trans-jugular porto-systemic shunt in the patients with elevated portal pressure and gastric cancer to perform a gastrectomy more safely and to decrease morbidity and mortality of these cases.
