  • Title: Experience with alternate sources of venous inflow in the meso-Rex bypass operation: the coronary and splenic veins.
    Author: Chiu B, Pillai SB, Sandler AD, Superina RA.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2007 Jul; 42(7):1199-202. PubMed ID: 17618880.
    Abstract:
    The meso-Rex bypass procedure has been used to treat patients with portal hypertension from extrahepatic portal vein obstruction. This report describes modifications of this procedure in 5 patients. Either the splenic or coronary vein was used as the venous inflow point, and the bypass was performed either directly through transposition of the vein or with the use of a venous conduit.
