Abstract
Portal hypertension resulting from non-cirrhotic extrahepatic portal vein obstruction is a cause of severe morbidity related to variceal bleeding in children. In patients not eligible for Meso-Rex bypass, rescue interventions for refractory variceal bleeding have traditionally included surgical porto-systemic shunts or transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt (TIPS), which alter the normal physiology of liver perfusion and expose children to long-term complications. Portal vein recanalization is a recently described technique which aims to restore the hepatopetal flow through the native portal system but its feasibility is often limited. We aim to present two innovative techniques of percutaneous non-anatomical portal vein recanalization for treating non-cirrhotic extrahepatic portal vein obstruction in children who failed anatomical revascularization.
期刊介绍:
Official Journal of the European Society of Pediatric Radiology, the Society for Pediatric Radiology and the Asian and Oceanic Society for Pediatric Radiology
Pediatric Radiology informs its readers of new findings and progress in all areas of pediatric imaging and in related fields. This is achieved by a blend of original papers, complemented by reviews that set out the present state of knowledge in a particular area of the specialty or summarize specific topics in which discussion has led to clear conclusions. Advances in technology, methodology, apparatus and auxiliary equipment are presented, and modifications of standard techniques are described.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
