Roentgenoendovascular surgery (RES) made it possible to reduce the mortality of patients with portal hypertension. Endovascular correction of portal hypertension improved protein and pigment metabolism indices in the liver. RES methods also improved the absorption-excretion function of the liver in patients with portal hypertension in the sub- and decompensated stages. RES is recommended for the treatment of portal hypertension both in the subcompensated and decompensated stages.
