The method was first reported in dogs in 1951 by Abeatici and Campi,1and was applied to humans shortly thereafter. Independently, Bahnson and his co-workers had performed the procedure on six patients between 1949 and 1952, but their observations were not published until 1953.2In 1954, Atkinson and Sherlock measured the intrasplenic pressure percutaneously and found it to be a reliable index of the portal venous pressure.3Since...Bibliography1.
