ABSTRACT
Shunt procedures being used in the emergency surgical management of variceal bleeding include total (portocaval shunt-PCS), partial (mesocaval H graft shunt-MCS) or selective shunts (distal splenorenal shunt-DSRS). We report the use of inferior mesenteric vein to left renal vein (IMV to LRV) shunt in an emergency situation in a 24 year old patient with noncirrhotic portal hypertension with variceal bleeding.
