In children with extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO), formation of a mesentericoportal bypass (Rex shunt) restores hepatopetal flow, relieves portal hypertension, and reduces variceal bleeding and hypersplenism. The Rex shunt is created by inserting a vein graft between the superior mesenteric vein and the umbilical segment (Rex) of the left portal vein within the Rex recess of the liver. The preoperative evaluation of a patient with EHPVO includes an accurate assessment of the venous inflow and outflow. The inflow portal vein is readily assessed by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. The outflow intrahepatic portal vein is harder to assess. We report our experience of patients evaluated with wedged hepatic vein carbon dioxide portography (WHVCP).
