Type II Abernethy Malformation: A Rare Cause of Hepatic Encephalopathy in Adulthood
Abernethy malformation is a rare congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt with variable clinical manifestations, mainly associated with the portosystemic shunt. Hepatic encephalopathy can be the first manifestation.

Paraumbilical collateral veins on MRI as possible protection against portal venous thrombosis in candidates for liver transplantation [PDF]
Background: We retrospectively evaluate the potential protective influence of patent paraumblical vein (PUV) collaterals against portal vein (PV) thrombosis and reduced PV diameter in candidates for orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) Methods: Dynamic 3D ...

Prevalentie van urolithiasis en andere urinaire afwijkingen bij honden met een congenitale extrahepatische portosystemische shunt = Prevalence of urolithiasis and other urinary abnormalities in dogs with a congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt [PDF]
Dogs with a portosystemic shunt (PSS) often have urinary abnormalities. In this retrospective study, the prevalence of urolithiasis and other urinary abnormalities secondary to extrahepatic (EH)PSS was determined from the onset of the clinical signs ...

Optimising Radiation Dose Estimation: UNSCEAR DAP‐to‐ED Conversion in Uterine Artery Embolisation
This study uses the conversion factors from the ‘UNSCEAR Global Survey on Medical Exposure: A User Manual’ to estimate radiation dose exposure for patients undergoing uterine artery embolisation. Estimating the effective dose provides interventional radiologists and interventional radiographers a better understanding of the stochastic risks associated ...

Abernethy malformation: A comprehensive review
Abernethy malformation is a rare condition in which portomesenteric blood bypasses the liver and drains into the systemic vein through a partial or complete shunt. It is categorised into two types on the basis of the shunt pattern between the portal vein
