Background: Absent ductus venosus (ADV) is a rare condition, but it should be known that this embryonic anomaly may be detected by fetal echocardiographic or newborn ultrasound examinations.
Case Report: We present a baby with an ADV and an accompanying alternative porto-caval shunt between the right portal vein and inferior vena cava detected on postnatal ultrasound examination.
Conclusions: Variations in the fetal umbilical or porto-systemic circulations should be detected by fetal or newborn ultrasound examinations and kept in mind before common interventions such as UV catheterizations.

Comparison of specialized stent versus generic stent and bare stent combination for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt creation.
Sci Rep
June 2024
Department of Radiology, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Jiefang Avenue #1277, Wuhan, 430022, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) using Viatorr stents compared to a generic stent-graft/bare stent combination in patients with liver issues.
- Clinical data from 145 patients was analyzed, showing that while both groups had high stent patency rates over time, the combination group fared slightly better, though this difference was not statistically significant.
- Independent risk factors for post-TIPS complications were identified, including portal vein diameter and thrombosis, suggesting that the generic combination may be a suitable option in areas with limited resources.
Modified gun-sight transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt technique.

Department of Radiology, Alfred Health, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- A modified gun-sight porto-hepatic TIPS technique was introduced as an alternative to conventional TIPS procedures, especially for challenging cases.
- In a one-year review, six patients underwent this technique, demonstrating a high success rate with effective parenchymal tract establishment using low-cost, readily available equipment.
- The technique's advantages include ease of use and cost-effectiveness, while the main drawback is the risk of liver capsular puncture.

Piggy-back graft for liver transplantation.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
January 2011
Department of Surgery, Royal Free Campus, UCL Medical School, 9th Floor, Royal Free Hospital, Pond Street, London, UK, NW3 2QG.
Background: Piggy-back method of transplantation, which involves preservation of the recipient retrohepatic inferior vena cava, has been suggested as an alternative to the conventional method of liver transplantation, where the recipient retrohepatic inferior vena cava is resected.
Objectives: To compare the benefits and harms of piggy-back technique versus conventional liver transplantation as well as of the different modifications of piggy-back technique during liver transplantation.
Search Strategy: We searched The Cochrane Hepato-Biliary Group Controlled Trials Register, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) in The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Science Citation Index Expanded until June 2010 for identifying randomised trials using search strategies.
Two-stage liver transplantation with temporary porto-middle hepatic vein shunt.
J Transplant

Two-stage liver transplantation (LT) has been reported for cases of fulminant liver failure that can lead to toxic hepatic syndrome, or massive hemorrhages resulting in uncontrollable bleeding. Technically, the first stage of the procedure consists of a total hepatectomy with preservation of the recipient's inferior vena cava (IVC), followed by the creation of a temporary end-to-side porto-caval shunt (TPCS). The second stage consists of removing the TPCS and implanting a liver graft when one becomes available.
