[Possible causes of thrombus-related hazard of a distal splenorenal venous anastomosis].

A distal splenorenal venous anastomosis (DSRVA) is used as a method to decompress the portal system in hypertension and as a method to treat type 1 diabetes mellitus. The essence of the operation consists in establishing an «end-to-side» anastomosis between the distal end of the transected close to the ostium splenic vein with the left renal vein. Possible shortcomings of this operation include but are not limited to high thrombus-related hazard both in case of using it in portal hypertension and in diabetes mellitus.
