Intrahepatic portosystemic shunt using a Viatorr stent

Radiographic image (panel A) demonstrates the creation of an intrahepatic portosystemic shunt using a Viatorr stent. The metallic ring (arrow) shows the transition between the covered portion of the stent located in the intrahepatic segment of the shunt (arrowhead) and the bare portion of the stent located intravascularly in the right portal vein. Portal venogram with digital subtraction (panel B) demonstrates opacification of the portal and hepatic veins and of the patent shunt.
