Small-Diameter PTFE Portosystemic Shunts: Portocaval vs Mesocaval
Fifty-seven patients with failed sclerotherapy received a mesocaval interposition shunt with an externally supported, ringed polytetrafluoroethylene prosthesis of either 10 or 12 mm diameter. Thirty-one patients had Child-Pugh grade A disease and 26 grade B; all had a liver volume of 1000-2500 ml. Follow-up ranged from 16 months to 6 years 3 months. Three patients (5 per cent) died in the posto...
متن کاملPortosystemic shunts in dogs and cats: imaging portosystemic shunts in small animals – ultrasonography, nuclear scintigraphy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging
Because of the non-specificity of the clinical signs and laboratory findings, imaging techniques such as portography, ultrasonography (US), nuclear scintigraphy, computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are required to provide a definitive diagnosis of portosystemic shunts (PSSs). Nuclear scintigraphy is the gold standard for detecting PSSs, but it is not useful in distingu...
متن کاملImaging 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...
متن کاملFat- and bone marrow-impregnated small diameter PTFE grafts.
OBJECTIVES to evaluate an alternative and simple technique which consists in impregnation of a synthetic prosthesis with either autogenic omental fat or bone marrow. These tissues have been selected based on previous works and because they contain multiple cellular and extracellular compounds with biological healing properties (i.e. angiogenesis, endothelialisation, etc.). DESIGN PTFE grafts ...
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 ...
