Functional anatomy of the porta-systemic communications.
TL;DR: The findings indicate that the deep pathways in the pelvis, abdomen and thorax are normally patent and are of greater importance than the anterior parietal ones.

Portal-systemic encephalopathy due to a congenital portocaval shunt
TL;DR: Recenthy, the authors encountered an apparent congenital communication between the extrahepatic portal vein and inferior vena cava, which has not been reported before.

Restoration of portal venous perfusion and reversal of encephalopathy by balloon occlusion of portal systemic shunt
TL;DR: It is concluded that in selected cases total portasystemic shunts can be occluded by invasive radiographic techniques, and restoration of portal perfusion can reverse hepatic encephalopathy and improve liver function.
