Abstract
Background Congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSS) are rare vascular malformations associated with the risk of life-threatening systemic conditions, which remain underdiagnosed and often are identified after considerable diagnostic delay. CPSS are characterized by multiple signs and symptoms, often masquerading as other conditions, progressing over time if the shunt remains patent. Which patients will benefit from shunt closure remains to be clarified, as does the timing and method of closure. In addition, the etiology and pathophysiology of CPSS are both unknowns. This rare disorder needs the strength of numbers to answer these questions, which is the purpose of the international registry of CPSS (IRCPSS). Method A retrospective and prospective registry was designed using secuTrial® by the ISO certified Clinical Research Unit. Given that a significant number of cases entered in the registry are retrospective, participants have the opportunity to use a semi-structured minimal or complete data set to facilitate data entry. In addition, the design allows subjects to be entered into the IRCPSS according to clinically relevant events. Emphasis is on longitudinal follow-up of signs and symptoms, which is paramount to garner clinically relevant information to eventually orient patient management. The IRCPSS includes also three specific forms to capture essential radiological, surgical, and cardiopulmonary data as many times as relevant, which are completed by the specialists themselves. Finally, connecting the clinical data registry with a safe image repository, using state-of-the-art pseudonymization software, was another major focus of development. Data quality and stewardship is ensured by a steering committee. All centers participating in the IRCPSS have signed a memorandum of understanding and obtained their own ethical approval. Conclusion Through state-of-the-art management of data and imaging, we have developed a practical, user-friendly, international registry to study CPSS in neonates, children, and adults. Via this multicenter and international effort, we will be ready to answer meaningful and urgent questions regarding the management of patients with CPSS, a condition often ridden with significant diagnostic delay contributing to a severe clinical course.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Portomesenteric and portosystemic venous occlusive disease may lead to portomesenteric hypertension, variceal bleeding, ascites and hypersplenism. Data regarding endovascular reconstructive strategies in children, however, are limited. OBJECTIVE To report technical success, outcome and patency of portomesenteric and portosystemic venous reconstruction using VIABAHN VBX balloon-expandable endoprostheses in pediatric patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five pediatric patients (median age: 15 years, range: 4-18 years), including 3 (60%) boys and 2 (40%) girls, with portomesenteric or portosystemic venous occlusion or recurrent stenosis, underwent balloon-expandable stent graft reconstruction. Presenting symptoms included acute variceal bleeding, without (n = 2, 40%) or with (n = 1, 20%) splenomegaly, and transfusion-dependent chronic melena (n = 1, 20%). One patient was asymptomatic (n = 1, 20%). Preprocedural imaging included Doppler ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) in all patients. Initial imaging showed 4 (80%) occlusions and 1 (20%) recurrent stenosis greater than 50%. Technical aspects of the reconstructions, technical successes, clinical outcomes and adverse events were recorded. Technical success was defined as completion of stent graft reconstruction. Adverse events were categorized according to Society of Interventional Radiology criteria. Clinical success was defined as resolution of the presenting symptoms and/or prevention of portal hypertensive sequela. RESULTS Venous reconstruction was technically successful in all five patients. Stent graft locations included the main portal vein in 2 (40%), the superior mesenteric vein in 1 (20%), autologous Meso-Rex shunt in 1 (20%) and splenocaval shunt in 1 (20%). Six stent grafts were placed (two stent grafts placed in a single patient). Stent grafts had a median diameter of 7 mm (range: 6-10 mm) and a median length of 59 mm (range: 19-79 mm). Median fluoroscopy time was 36.6 min (range: 13.4-95.8 min) and median air kerma was 301.0 mGy (range: 218.0-1,148.2 mGy). No adverse events occurred. Median clinical follow-up was 18 months (range: 6-29 months). Median imaging follow-up was 17 months (range: 2-29 months). Clinical success was achieved in all patients and maintained during the follow-up period. One patient required follow-up intervention with superior mesenteric vein side extension with a self-expanding bare metal stent due to perigraft stenosis detected on CT 3 months after stent placement. There were no stent graft occlusions. CONCLUSION Portomesenteric and portosystemic venous reconstruction using balloon-expandable stent grafts in pediatric patients was feasible and clinically successful in this preliminary experience. Additional studies are warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer are increasingly explored after neoadjuvant treatment protocols. A complete resection, then, frequently includes the resection of the mesentericoportal axis. Portosystemic shunting for advanced tumours with infiltration of the splenic vein or cavernous transformation of the portal vein can enable complete tumour resection and prevent portovenous congestion of the intestine. The aim of this study was to report the results of this technique for selected patients. METHODS Patients operated for pancreatic cancer at our department between September 2012 and December 2017 using intraoperative portosystemic shunting were included in this retrospective analysis. RESULTS Some 11 patients with pancreatectomy and simultaneous portosystemic shunting were included. The median age was 65.1 years. A distal splenorenal shunt and a temporary mesocaval shunt were accomplished in 5 and 4 cases, respectively. Two patients were operated using persistent mesocaval shunts (from the coronary, splenic or inferior mesenteric veins). The median operating time was 9.43 h. All but one patient were resected with tumour-negative resection margins; 5 patients had relevant complicated postoperative courses. There was one case of in-hospital mortality but no further 30- or 90-day mortality or graft-associated complications. Five patients were alive after a median follow-up of 24.6 months. The median postoperative survival was 12 months. CONCLUSION Portosystemic shunting at the time of extended pancreatectomy is technically challenging but feasible and enables complete tumour resection in cases in which standard vascular reconstruction is limited by cavernous transformation or to prevent sinistral portal hypertension with acceptable morbidity in selected cases. Considering the limited overall survival, the potential individual patient benefit needs to be weighed against the considerable morbidity of advanced tumour resections.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Congenital portosystemic venous shunts are rare developmental anomalies resulting in diversion of portal flow to the systemic circulation and have been divided into extra- and intrahepatic shunts. They occur during liver and systemic venous vascular embryogenesis and are associated with other congenital abnormalities. They carry a higher risk of benign and malignant liver tumors and, if left untreated, can result in significant medical complications including systemic encephalopathy and pulmonary hypertension. CONCLUSION This article reviews the various types of congenital portosystemic shunts and their anatomy, pathogenesis, symptomatology, and timing and options of treatment. What is Known: • The natural history and basic management of this rare congenital anomaly are presented. What is New: • This paper is a comprehensive review; highlights important topics in pathogenesis, clinical symptomatology, and treatment options; and proposes an algorithm in the management of congenital portosystemic shunt disease in order to provide a clear idea to a pediatrician. An effort has been made to emphasize the indications for treatment in the children population and link to the adult group by discussing the consequences of lack of treatment or delayed diagnosis.

Abstract
A 43-year-old man with liver cirrhosis received transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for the treatment of recurrent variceal bleeding and F3 esophageal varices. During routine follow up liver ultrasound examination, six months after the implantation, TIPS occlusion was suspected and TIPS revision was performed. During the revision, moderate to severe stenosis at the hepatic venous segment of the tract and a total occlusion at the parenchymal segment of TIPS tract near the portal vein with biliary-TIPS fistula were identified with a clear visualization of the common bile duct. After the successful TIPS revision with the placement of an additional stent-graft, the biliary fistula and common bile duct were no more delineated. We herein report a rare case with an obvious visualization of biliary-TIPS fistula associated with obstruction of TIPS shunt on the tractogram and recanalization with an additional stent-graft.
