Splenic-intrahepatic left portal shunt in an adult patient with extrahepatic portal vein obstruction without recurrence after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

چکیده
In the last decade, a superior mesenteric-intrahepatic left portal shunt (Rex shunt) has been reported for successful management of extrahepatic portal vein obstruction in children. However, in adults, a mesocaval shunt has been generally performed for the surgical management of extrahepatic portal vein obstruction because of the complexity of the underlying disease and the difficulty of the superior mesenteric-intrahepatic left portal shunt. We herein report an adult patient who was successfully treated by splenic-intrahepatic left portal shunt with an artificial graft (6-mm polytetrafluoroethylene) for complete obstruction of the extrahepatic portal vein following pancreaticoduodenectomy. The shunt procedure not only relieved portal hypertension but also restored hepatic portal flow. In the near future, the Rex shunt should be considered for a beneficial management of extrahepatic portal vein obstruction, even in adults.

متن کاملTranssplenic portal vein reconstruction–transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in a patient with portal and splenic vein thrombosis
Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a potential complication of cirrhosis and can worsen outcomes after liver transplant (LT). Portal vein reconstruction-transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (PVR-TIPS) can restore flow through the portal vein (PV) and facilitate LT by avoiding complex vascular conduits. We present a case of transsplenic PVR-TIPS in the setting of complete PVT and splenic v...

It was noted that in patients with increased portal pressure, collateral channels were visualized; the splenic vein was curved or tortuous; the sum of the length of the splenie vein and that of the portal trun...
