Article Synopsis
- The study investigates systemic venous collaterals (VVCs) that arise after the Kawashima procedure, providing insights into their incidence, features, risk factors, and management.
- A retrospective review was conducted involving six patients who underwent the Kawashima operation before December 2011, revealing a decline in oxygen saturation levels after the procedure and the presence of multiple venous collaterals in the majority of patients.
- The findings suggest that all patients should be thoroughly evaluated for VVCs after the Kawashima operation, particularly those with low oxygen saturation, and highlights the need for early surgical intervention to enhance outcomes.
