Abstract In patients with cirrhosis, acute octreotide administration may transiently decrease the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG). Information on long-term effects of octreotide is limited and controversial. We evaluated portal and systemic hemodynamics following a prolonged administration of long-acting octreotide in patients with cirrhosis.
