Imaging of Congenital Portosystemic Shunts
T he normal portal vascular system transports venous blood from the stomach, intestines, spleen, and pancreas to the hepatic sinusoids and ultimately the hepatic veins and caudal vena cava. Portosystemic shunting (PSS) occurs when abnormal vascular connections occur between the portal and systemic venous systems, bypassing the liver. This can be acquired secondary to portal hypertension arising...

15 صفحه اولPulmonary hypertension in congenital shunts.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension frequently arises in patients with congenital heart disease. The vast majority present with congenital cardiac shunts. Initially these may manifest as left-to-right (i.e. systemic-to-pulmonary) shunts. The natural history of disease progression involves vascular remodeling and dysfunction that lead to increased pulmonary vascular resistance and, finally, to the d...
متن کاملPortosystemic shunts in dogs and cats: laboratory diagnosis of congenital portosystemic shunts
The most frequent laboratory abnormalities in patients with congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSS) are microcytosis, hypoglycemia, hypoalbuminemia, hypoproteinemia, increased liver enzyme activities, decreased blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and urate crystalluria. The microcytosis is probably due to impaired iron transport. Hypoglycemia, hypoalbuminemia, hypoproteinemia and decreased BUN are partly ...
