Endovascular transsplenic recanalization with angioplasty and stenting of an occluded main portal vein in an adult liver transplant recipient

Endovascular transsplenic recanalization with angioplasty and stenting of an occluded main portal vein in an adult liver transplant recipient

Endovascular transshepatic access has limitations that can be exacerbated in the posttransplantation setting. Although several techniques are available for portal venous system catheterization, the transsplenic approach offers a direct pathway for accessing the portal venous system, as well as assoc...
