Nonthrombogenic Extracorporeal Portosystemic Shunt

Archives of Surgery, 1970
In spite of ideal present day management, 25% of patients who bleed from esophageal varices continue to succumb to hemorrhage. Those who fail to respond to conservative measures require surgical intervention. Major surgery on a patient already taxed by exsanguinating hemorrhage and hepatic decompensation is accompanied by a high mortality. White et al,

TRANSJUGULAR INTRAHEPATIC PORTOSYSTEMIC SHUNTS

Annual Review of Medicine, 1995
▪ Abstract  Management of bleeding esophageal varices due to portal hypertension has traditionally relied on endoscopic sclerotherapy and operative intervention with placement of a portosystemic shunt. Although percutaneous decompression of portal hypertension was investigated 25 years ago, it was not clinically feasible until recently.

A 5-month-old alpaca cria was examined for chronic poor growth and repeated episodes of diarrhea. Examination of feces for parasites yielded negative results. Serum bile acid and blood ammonia concentrations were high. Subsequent examination by ultrasonography, percutaneous splenic portography, and colonic scintigraphy did not reveal evidence of a ...

WHICH PORTOSYSTEMIC SHUNT IS BEST?

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1992
No single shunt operation is ideal for all patients or all circumstances. The selective distal splenorenal shunt is preferred for the majority of patients, because it has the potential to preserve hepatic portal perfusion. Most evidence suggests that the distal splenorenal shunt is followed by a lower frequency of encephalopathy than is any type of ...

Hepatodiaphragmatic portosystemic shunt in cirrhosis

European Journal of Radiology, 1998
A case of an unusual form of hepatodiaphragmatic portosystemic shunt arising from the periphery of left posterosuperior portal vein branch, running beneath the inferior aspect of left hemidiaphragm and draining into the left lateral abdominal wall is demonstrated and assessed with digital subtraction portography, maximum-intensity-projection images ...

Chronic portosystemic encephalopathy: embolization of portosystemic shunts.

Radiology, 1987
Operative ligation of portosystemic shunts is effective in controlling chronic portosystemic encephalopathy (CPSE) but is associated with significant mortality. Review of the records of five patients with CPSE treated with radiologic occlusion procedures showed that these are suitable alternatives to surgery. Three patients had alcoholic cirrhosis, one

The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt

Journal of Hepatology, 1996
D URMG TEE last 20 years improvement in endoscopic techniques have resulted in more than 90% success in the management of acute variceal bleeding. However, in the prevention of recurrence of variceal bleeding endoscopic treatment is of limited efficacy, with a l-year rebleeding rate’ of more than 40% (1).

Atypical portosystemic shunt in a cat

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1986
An adult cat with vague signs of gastrointestinal dysfunction was found to have a congenital portosystemic shunt. There were no signs of hepatoencephalopathy, which is in contrast to what has been reported in other cats with the disease.
