Congenital portacaval shunts in two cats: Diagnosis and surgical correction

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1982
Summary Congenital portacaval shunts causing signs of hepatic encephalopathy were diagnosed and surgically corrected in 2 cats. A tentative diagnosis of portacaval shunt in each case was based on history, results of physical examination, and a high venous ammonia concentration.

[Ultrasonic inspection of the permeability of surgical portacaval shunts].

Presse medicale (Paris, France : 1983), 1985
Ultrasonography was used to evaluate the patency of portocaval shunts in 9 patients: 2 with spleno-renal anastomosis, 4 with portocaval truncular anastomosis, 2 with mesenteric-caval shunt and 1 with atypical shunt. The shunt count be demonstrated in 7 of these 9 patients.

Diet composition and surgical technique influence the postoperative recovery of portacaval shunted rats

Hepatology, 1988
In a series of experiments, rats were subjected to end-to-side portacaval shunts using either suture or nonsuture surgical procedures. Rats were maintained on cereal-based or purified diets in pellet form. All rats recovered preoperative body weights within the experimental periods; however, recovery of preoperative body ...

Long-term biochemical and physiologic effects of surgically placed portacaval shunts in dogs

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1986
SUMMARY After surgical placement of end-to-side portacaval shunts (pcs), 4 adult mongrel dogs (11.8 to 18.2 kg) were fed purified diets and monitored for approximately 50 weeks for changes in body weight, neurologic status, and an array of clinically important biochemical variables.

Surgical creation of portacaval shunts during temporary intestinal arterial and venous occlusion in dogs

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1996
Abstract Objective To surgically create complete portacaval shunts in dogs during temporary arrest of intestinal arterial and portal venous blood flow. Design Complete portacaval anastomoses were surgically created, and liver function was evaluated for 14 to 18 weeks after surgery. Animals 32 adult mixed-breed dogs of either sex.

Cost-Effective Analysis of Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt versus Surgical Portacaval Shunt for Variceal Bleeding in Early Cirrhosis

The American Surgeon™, 2011
Upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage carries significant morbidity and mortality in patients with portal hypertension and cirrhosis. The optimal prevention strategy for rebleeding in these patients remains controversial with respect to the safety and efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) versus a portocaval surgical shunt (PC).

Propoxyphene and norpropoxyphene plasma concentrations after oral propoxyphene in cirrhotic patients with and without surgically constructed portacaval shunt

Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 1980
Plasma concentrations of propoxyphene and its major metabolite, norpropoxyphene, were determined over at least 12 hr after oral administration of 130 mg dextropropoxyphene hydrochloride to eight men with hepatic cirrhosis, of whom four had a surgically constructed portacaval shunt, and to seven healthy men.

Small-diameter portacaval h-graft shunt: A paradigm shift back to surgical shunting in the management of variceal bleeding in patients with preserved liver function

Liver Transplantation, 2000
Small-diameter portacaval H-graft (SDPHG) shunts are partial portosystemic shunts that control variceal bleeding while preserving nutrient blood flow to the liver, minimizing postoperative encephalopathy and liver failure. Since July 1, 1997, we placed SDPHG shunts in 18 patients (age, 52.1 ± 2.6 years; range, 35 to 72 years ...

A Surgical Model of Fulminant Hepatic Failure in the Rabbit: Different Effects of End-to-Side versus Small-Diameter Side-to-Side Portacaval Shunt

European Surgical Research, 1987
We developed a rabbit model of fulminant hepatic failure by way of a two-staged total liver devascularisation procedure. For the first-stage procedure (portosystemic shunting), the clinical, biochemical and electro-encephalographic courses in 6 rabbits (group I) with an end-to-side portacaval shunt (ETS-PCS), 6 rabbits (group II) with a small-diameter ...
