The effect of portacaval shunt on hyperlipidemia in rats
Microsurgery, 1980AbstractHyperlipidemia was induced in rats by feeding them cheese mixed with high levels of cholesterol. Triglyceride levels more than doubled from 70.4 ± 25.8 mg/dl before the diet to 160.1 ± 50.5 mg/dl three weeks after initiation of the diet, and cholesterol levels were increased by approximately 25% from 72.5 ± 8.1 mg/dl to 98.9 ± 18.5 mg/dl after ...

A Large Spontaneous Portacaval Shunt
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1966THE DIVERSION OF portal venous blood into the systemic circulation through naturally occurring collateral vessels has long been recognized as a concomitant of processes which produce portal hypertension. Many of these vessel systems are familiar to the clinician as the hemorrhoidal, esophageal, and anterior abdominal wall plexuses.

Effect of Portacaval Shunt on Hypersplenism.
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1961Excerpt Patients with cirrhosis may have a variety of hematologic disturbances. Some of these—anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia—are attributed to hypersplenism.

Duodenal Varices Treated by Portacaval Shunt
Archives of Surgery, 1966BLEEDING from esophageal varices in patients with portal hypertension and cirrhosis of the liver is not an uncommon occurrence. Bleeding from duodenal varices in patients with portal hypertension and cirrhosis of the liver must be recognized quite infrequently since only five previous case reports have been found in the literature.

Serine Metabolism After Portacaval Shunt
Archives of Surgery, 1970Although portacaval shunt effectively controls hemorrhage from esophageal varices by control of portal hypertension, liver function does not improve and often deteriorates after diversion of portal blood from the liver. Hepatic failure is the most common cause of the excessively high mortality following portacaval shunt. The etiology of hepatic failure

Duplex ultrasound in the evaluation of portacaval shunts
Clinical Radiology, 1987The results of ultrasound imaging combined with Doppler studies of blood flow are presented in two patients with surgical portacaval shunts performed for portal hypertension. Duplex scanning proved a quick and noninvasive method of confirming the patency of the anastomoses.

Modifications of the portacaval shunt in the rat
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1965Two refinements of the end-to-side portacaval anastomosis in the rat, the superior mesenteric-caval and the splenocaval, have been presented along with a continuous-suture method which makes possible a more rapid surgical procedure. Rats have been maintained with these shunts for 6 months after which autopsies have shown the shunts to be patent.

Comment End-to-Side Portacaval Shunt Arthur B. Blakemore, M.D., and Arthur B. Voorhees Jr., M.D., New York The key to a successful portacaval shunt is a rapidly moving stream of blood. The precise mechanism by which the process of thrombosis is accelerated in a slow-moving stream or retarded in a fast-moving stream is not known, but for practical ...

Portacaval Shunt with Portal Vein Arterialization
Hospital Practice, 1979A combination of end-to-side total portacaval shunt with arterialization of the hepatic stump of the interrupted portal vein completely decompresses the portal system while simultaneously maintaining perfusion of the liver. It is only marginally more difficult than a conventional total shunt yet it appears to be as effective as the technically taxing ...
