The effect of aerobic exercise on portal venous system in splenecotmized patients
Background: Splenectomy is a surgical intervention commonly performed at hospitals as a cause of splenic trauma. Aerobic exercise increases blood flow to contracting muscles, causes hypercoagulability and vasoconstriction in the splenic area, hence the portal vein diameter and blood flow velocity decrease. Aim: to study the effect of aerobic exercise on portal venous system in splenectomized patients.
