Surgical Banding for Congenital Porto-Systemic Shunt: How We Do It?
Abstract: Congenital porto-systemic shunt with intrahepatic portal vein hypoplasia is a rare pathology often necessitating liver transplant. However, in a subset of patients, the hypoplastic intrahepatic portal veins can be encouraged to grow by banding the postosystemic shunt. We describe an innovative technique of banding the postosystemic shunt as the first step in the multi-staged treatment for this rare congenital anomaly.
