  • Title: Emergency inferior mesenteric vein to left renal vein shunt in variceal bleeding: an alternative technique.
    Author: D'Cruz K, Natarajan A.
    Journal: Trop Gastroenterol; 2001; 22(4):230-1. PubMed ID: 11963336.
    Abstract:
    Shunt procedures being used in the emergency surgical management of variceal bleeding include total (portocaval shunt-PCS), partial (mesocaval H graft shunt-MCS) or selective shunts (distal splenorenal shunt-DSRS). We report the use of inferior mesenteric vein to left renal vein (IMV to LRV) shunt in an emergency situation in a 24 year old patient with noncirrhotic portal hypertension with variceal bleeding.
