Denver shunt

Our own experience (since 1982 at Wetzlar Hospital for Internal Medicine, including the monitoring of outpatients) is founded on the use of the LeVeen shunt (8 cases) and Denver shunt (6 cases). The patients (all suffering from alcoholic cirrhosis) were selected in line with the above criteria, examined and treated (with determination of plasminogen and application of dexamethasone, if required). The survival rate in these 14 cases amounted to 10 patients after 2 years (ca. 72%), 8 patients after 3 years (ca. 57%) and 4 patients after 4 years (ca. 29%). (s. figs. 16.13, 16.14)... [Pg.313]
