  • Title: Stent graft closure of a high flow splenorenal shunt after liver transplantation.
    Author: Litvin S, Atar E, Knizhnik M, Bruckheimer E, Belenky A.
    Journal: Diagn Interv Radiol; 2010 Dec; 16(4):312-4. PubMed ID: 19784918.
    Abstract:
    We describe a patient after liver transplantation with a preexisting surgical splenorenal shunt close to the confluence of the splenic and superior mesenteric veins and a wide, short communication between the splenic and renal veins. To close the shunt, an inferior vena cava filter was inserted in the shunt and a vascular plug was placed in the splenic vein inside the filter. When this failed to stop the flow through the shunt, a covered stent was deployed at the superior mesenteric vein-portal vein junction.
