Patent ductus venosus with a hypoplastic intrahepatic portal system presenting intrapulmonary shunt: a case treated with banding of the ductus venosus

S Kamata et al. J Pediatr Surg. 2000 Apr.

Abstract

A case of patent ductus venosus (PDV) presenting intrapulmonary shunting is described. Although retrograde venography of ductus venosus showed few intrahepatic branches, banding of PDV resulted in increased intrahepatic portal branches and disappearance of symptoms 10 months after the operation. Banding of the ductus venosus may be effective in PDV even with hypoplastic intrahepatic portal system.
