| Abstract | 「Introduction」 We encountered a patient with a marked improvement in hepatic blood flow after olprinone administration, which was confirmed by abdominal pulse Doppler echography. 「Case report」 The patient was a 69-year-old man who was 156cm tall and weighed 54kg. His past history included variant form of angina at the age of 44, and cholecystitis at the age of 67. Previously, the patient had been treated for diabetes mellitus and hypertension by a physician. Due to the appearance of gray stool since September 21, 1998, further examination was performed, which indicated stenosis of the common bile duct. Therefore, an internal fistular tube for biliary drainage was inserted on September 30 1998. On October 3 1998, because the diagnosis of cholangio carcinoma was established by angiography, the patient was admitted to our hospital for surgical treatment. Physical findings on admission:His nutritional status of the patient was good, however, the bulbar conjunctiva was slightly jaundiced. Examination findings on admission:The following results of biochemical examinations demonstrated damaged liver functions and increased biliary tract enzyme:AST 81 IU/l, ALT 142 IU/l, γ-GTP 1213 IU/l and total bilirubin 2.5mg/dl. |
