Abstract

We have experienced a case of arteriovenous (arterioportal) fistula between the right gastroepiploic artery and vein after gastrectomy. A 45-year-old man without any complaints was unexpectedly pointed out of a thrill of the upper abdomen. In spite of an increase in portal blood flow, the portal venous pressure was kept at a normal level (13cm H2O), which did not influence to the liver confirmed by microscopical examination. After the resection of the fistula the hepatic blood reduced to a half, the portal blood flow reduced to one third, and the portal blood pressure was 11cm H2O. The postoperative course was uneventful without any changes in the hepatic function.<br> It si considered that the case did not show portal hypertension due to the short duration from the onset, small size fo the fistula and the normal compliance of the portal system without any hepatic disease.
