| pubmed-article:6266040 | pubmed:abstractText | This is a report of a patient with a thrombosed distal spleno-renal shunt with gastro-splenic disconnection and post-operative recurrent variceal hemorrhage. After portocaval shunt, a high venous pressure in the gastro-splenic sector demonstrates a compartmentalized venous hypertension. Splenectomy normalized this segmental portal hypertension, this confirming the concept that this type of portosystemic shunt is selective in early post-operative period. | lld:pubmed |
