The hepatic venography and wedged hepatic venous pressure measurement were performed in 35 patients with portal hypertension using a balloon catheter, and the results were compared with those obtained by the conventional method. It was revealed that the balloon catheter visualized a broader area of the liver and showed more accurate wedged hepatic venous pressure than the conventional catheter, thereby demonstrating that this is an excellent diagnostic tool for patients with portal hypertension.
对35例门静脉高压患者使用球囊导管进行肝静脉造影和肝静脉楔压测量，并将结果与传统方法获得的结果进行比较。结果显示，与传统导管相比，球囊导管能显示更广泛的肝脏区域，且肝静脉楔压测量更准确，从而表明这是门静脉高压患者的一种优秀诊断工具。
