Balloon occlusion retrograde transvenous obliteration of gastric varices in two non-cirrhotic patients with portal vein thrombosis [PDF]
This report describes two non-cirrhotic patients with portal vein thrombosis who underwent successful balloon occlusion retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) of gastric varices with a satisfactory response and no complications.

Study on portosystemic shunts in dogs
SIR, – We are currently studying genetic aspects of portosystemic shunts in dogs, particularly Irish wolfhounds, Scottish deerhounds, Cairn terriers and West Highland white terriers. We would be grateful if veterinary practitioners were able to provide us with any excess EDTA blood that has ...

Asymptomatic Aneurysmal Portosystemic Venous Shunt: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Spontaneous intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt (SIPSVS) is relatively rare and not well recognized. Herein, we report 75-year-old female of an aneurysmal portosystemic venous shunt detected by colour Doppler ultrasound in check-up examination.

Presentation of Congenital Portosystemic Shunts in Children [PDF]
Background: Congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSS) are rare vascular anomalies resulting in communications between the portal venous system and the systemic venous circulation, affecting an estimated 30,000 to 50,000 live births. CPSS can present at any age as a multi-system disease of variable severity mimicking both common and rare pediatric ...

Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt [PDF]
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) insertion is among the most technically challenging procedures in interventional radiology. It combines many of the skills used in other procedures such as venous access, biopsy, angioplasty, and stent-graft insertion into one IR tour de force.
