Portasystemic Shunts in 102 Patients with Portal Hypertension

New England Journal of Medicine, 1966
DURING the past fifteen years an increasing number of portasystemic shunts have been performed at the Lahey Clinic. Some patients did not fit into the accepted criteria for operability1 2 3 4 5 6 7; yet a significant number of them have in fact had a prolonged period of survival.

Hepatic Adenoma Associated with Portasystemic Shunting in a Young Woman

Digestion, 2009
The development of a hepatic adenoma is described in a young female of reproductive age who had documented portasystemic shunting and hyperestrogenemia. The intrinsic hyperestrogenemia and the increased hepatic arterial blood flow, both of which occurred as a result of the portasystemic shunting secondary to portal venous obstruction, may have been ...

Survival and quality of life after selective portasystemic shunts

The American Journal of Surgery, 1981
Selective portasystemic shunts were performed in 55 consecutive patients; 27 underwent end-to-end selective renosplenic shunt, 18 distal splenorenal shunt and 10 splenocaval shunt. Thirty-one patients were in Child's class A, 18 were in class B and 6 in class C. Hospital mortality for the whole group was 16 percent and occurred less frequently in class

The use and misuse of transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunts

Current Gastroenterology Reports, 2000
Transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunts, or TIPS, are used to create a low-resistance channel between the hepatic vein and the intrahepatic portion of the portal vein by deployment of an expandable metal stent. TIPS function like side-to-side surgical portacaval shunts, but their placement does not require anesthesia and major surgery.

[Results of portasystemic shunts in cirrhosis in children].

Archives francaises de pediatrie, 1985
A surgical porto-systemic shunt was carried out in 37 children and adolescents (age: 2 yrs-18 yrs) who presented with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. All patients were classified "A" or "B" according to Child's criteria. Proof of the patency of the shunt was obtained by endoscopy and/or angiography in 31 children.

[Transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunt and liver transplantation].

Annales de radiologie, 1995
From the first one hundred consecutive patients treated by transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), 12 subsequently underwent liver transplantation (a mean of 103 +/- 109 days after TIPS). Fourteen TIPS were created in 12 patients, with advanced cirrhosis (Child B = 5, C = 7) and portal hypertension.

Liver transplantation in patients with a surgical portasystemic shunt.

Gastroenterologie clinique et biologique, 1992
Of 220 patients undergoing liver transplantation between March 1982 and April 1991, eighteen (8.1 percent) already had a surgical portasystemic shunt. Four patients had a distal splenorenal shunt, six a side-to-side portacaval shunt, three an end-to-side portacaval shunt, and five, a mesocaval shunt. The splanchnic venous system was assessed by Doppler

Effect of portasystemic shunts on subsequent transplantation of the liver.

Surgery, gynecology & obstetrics, 1991
Portasystemic (PS) shunts have been regarded as a relative contraindication to hepatic transplantation (HT) because of the potential for increased technical difficulties during the transplant operation. We compared operative blood loss, morbidity and mortality in 27 patients with PS shunts and 147 patients with no shunts (NS) who underwent HT.
