However, it rarely allows correct visualisation of the portal vein. Recently, CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> has been suggested to allow better angiographic demonstration of the portal vein than iodine. In this study we investigated the efficacy of CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> compared with iodinated contrast medium for portal vein imaging and its role in the evaluation of portal hypertension in a series of 100 patients undergoing hepatic vein catheterisation, 71 of whom had liver cirrhosis.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In the overall series, CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> venography was markedly superior to iodine, allowing correct visualisation of the different segments of the portal venous system. In addition, CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>, but not iodine, visualised portal-systemic collaterals in 34 patients. In cirrhosis, non-visualisation of the portal vein on CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> venography occurred in 11 cases; four had portal vein thrombosis and five had communications between different hepatic veins. Among non-cirrhotics, lack of portal vein visualisation had a 90% sensitivity, 88% specificity, 94% negative predictive value, and 83% positive predictive value in the diagnosis of pre-sinusoidal portal hypertension.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Visualisation of the venous portal system by CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> venography is markedly superior to iodine. The use of CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> wedged portography is a useful and safe complementary procedure during hepatic vein catheterisation which may help to detect portal thrombosis. Also, lack of demonstration of the portal vein in non-cirrhotic patients strongly suggests the presence of pre-sinusoidal portal hypertension.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.46.6.856","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,27]],"date-time":"2002-07-27T06:32:32Z","timestamp":1027751552000},"page":"856-860","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["CO<sub>2<\/sub> wedged hepatic venography in the evaluation of portal hypertension"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"W","family":"Debernardi-Venon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J-C","family":"Bandi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J-C","family":"Garc\u00eda-Pag\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Moitinho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"V","family":"Andreu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Real","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Escorsell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"X","family":"Montany\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Bosch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025090713152950000_46.6.856.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"177","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2008-1040707","article-title":"The pathophysiology of portal hypertension; a basis for its classification.","volume":"2","author":"Groszmann","year":"1982","journal-title":"Semin Liver Dis"},{"key":"2025090713152950000_46.6.856.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"279","DOI":"10.1016\/0016-5085(85)90327-0","article-title":"Incidence of portal vein thrombosis in liver cirrhosis.
