“…Some studies found that the acute administration of OCT decreases portal pressure 25 but most studies failed to achieve such beneficial effects. 26,27 OCT has been shown to prevent postprandial increase in portal pressure in stable cirrhotics but its practical role in BEVs is still unclear. 28 Furthermore, a previous study found that OCT injection in cirrhotic patients caused marked but transient reductions in portal pressure and azygos blood flow because of rapid development of desensitization.…”

“…The exact mechanisms of the hemodynamic changes in response to octreotide are partly unknown, 1 and only a transient or no effect on hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) has been demonstrated. [2][3][4][5][6] Lately, a marked increase of lower esophageal sphincter pressure has been described in response to intravenous octreotide in portal hypertensive patients in addition to a sustained suppression of postprandial splanchnic hyperemia. 3,[7][8][9] These effects coincide with a reduction of plasma glucagon, 8,9 and this mechanism has been thought to be responsible for the suppression of splanchnic hyperemia.…”
