Abstract
We report a case with extrahepatic portal venous obstruction (EHPVO), who presented with recurrent bleeding following a previous devascularization procedure and needed an emergency distal spleno-renal shunt (DSRS). Due to technical difficulty because of previous scarring, the adrenal vein was used as a conduit between the splenic vein and renal vein. The shunt's patent and the patient has been bleed-free for 2 years.Entities:
