Portal hypertension is a common clinical disease and brings a series of complications including the formation of gastrointestinal varicose veins,ascites,hepatic encephalopathy,and abdominal varicose veins. Most of these complications are related to the opening of collateral circulation after the increase in portal venous pressure. On one hand,collateral circulation helps to alleviate the high portal venous pressure,and on the other hand,it brings related complications to patients. This article reviews recent reports and studies on collateral circulation related to portal hypertension,in order to increase our knowledge of collateral circulation in portal hypertension and improve clinical diagnosis and treatment of such disease.
