  • Title: Embolization of nonvariceal portosystemic collaterals in transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts.
    Author: Bilbao JI, Arias M, Longo JM, Alejandre PL, Betés MT, Elizalde AM.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 1997; 20(2):149-53. PubMed ID: 9030509.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous embolization of large portosystemic collaterals was performed in three patients following placement of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in order to improve hepatopetal portal flow. Improved hepatic portal perfusion was achieved in these cases, thereby theoretically reducing the risk of chronic hepatic encephalopathy.
