In medicine, a distal splenorenal shunt procedure (DSRS), also splenorenal shunt procedure and Warren shunt, is a surgical procedure in which the distal splenic vein (a part of the portal venous system) is attached to the left renal vein (a part of the systemic venous system).

Hepatic veins

In human anatomy, the hepatic veins are the veins that drain venous blood from the liver into the inferior vena cava (as opposed to the hepatic portal vein which conveys blood from the gastrointestinal organs to the liver).

Internal jugular vein

The internal jugular vein is a paired jugular vein that collects blood from the brain and the superficial parts of the face and neck.

Jugular vein

The jugular veins are veins that take blood from the head back to the heart via the superior vena cava.

See Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and Jugular vein

Liver

The liver is a major metabolic organ exclusively found in vertebrate animals, which performs many essential biological functions such as detoxification of the organism, and the synthesis of proteins and various other biochemicals necessary for digestion and growth.

Neck

The neck is the part of the body on many vertebrates that connects the head with the torso.

Polytetrafluoroethylene

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, and has numerous applications because it is chemically inert.

Portacaval shunt

A portacaval shunt, portocaval shunt, or portal-caval shunt is a treatment for portal hypertension. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and portacaval shunt are Implants (medicine) and vascular surgery.

Portal hypertension

Portal hypertension is defined as increased portal venous pressure, with a hepatic venous pressure gradient greater than 5 mmHg. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and portal hypertension are Hepatology.

See Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and Portal hypertension

Portal vein

The portal vein or hepatic portal vein (HPV) is a blood vessel that carries blood from the gastrointestinal tract, gallbladder, pancreas and spleen to the liver.

Portal venous system

In the circulatory system of vertebrates, a portal venous system occurs when a capillary bed pools into another capillary bed through veins, without first going through the heart.

Pressure drop

Pressure drop (often abbreviated as "dP" or "ΔP") is defined as the difference in total pressure between two points of a fluid carrying network.

See Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and Pressure drop

A self-expandable metallic stent (or SEMS) is a metallic tube, or stent that holds open a structure in the gastrointestinal tract to allow the passage of food, chyme, stool, or other secretions related to digestion. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and self-expandable metallic stent are Implants (medicine).

Shunt (medical)

In medicine, a shunt is a hole or a small passage that moves, or allows movement of, fluid from one part of the body to another. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and shunt (medical) are Implants (medicine).

Superior vena cava

The superior vena cava (SVC) is the superior of the two venae cavae, the great venous trunks that return deoxygenated blood from the systemic circulation to the right atrium of the heart.

Vascular resistance

Vascular resistance is the resistance that must be overcome for blood to flow through the circulatory system.

See Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and Vascular resistance

Vascular surgery

Vascular surgery is a surgical subspecialty in which vascular diseases involving the arteries, veins, or lymphatic vessels, are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures and surgical reconstruction.
