Abstract:
By using a micro-sensor through an endoscope,the esophageal variceal pressure in 94 patients with cirrhosis was measured.The results of the measurement were as follow:in 5 cases with Ⅱ-degree,it was 2.68?0.18 kPa,varices in 26 cases with Ⅲ-degree,it was 2.90?0.23 kPa,while in 63 cases of Ⅳ-degree varices,it was 3.51?0.33 kPa.The results suggested that there was a significant correlation between the pressure of esophageal varices with the degree of varices (r=0.313,P=0.01).The method seemed to be a valuable non-invading technic for evaluating the degree of varices.
