To create a poo-caval shunt in a patient with poal hypeension, which of the following venous anastomosis should be performed?
High-Yield Explanation
Poacaval shunting is major surgery. It involves a large cut (incision) in the belly area (abdomen). The surgeon then makes a connection between the poal vein (which supplies most of the liver's blood) and the inferior vena cava (the vein that drains blood from most of the lower pa of the body.)The new connection dives blood flow way from the liver. This reduces blood pressure in the poal vein and decreases the risk of a tear (rupture) and bleeding from the veins in the esophagus and stomach. Ref - Researchgate.net
