Summary
Splenic infarction, previously considered rare after splenorenal arterial bypass (SRB), occurred in four patients. This study highlights potential risks and patient selection factors for SRB to prevent splenic complications.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Abdominal Surgery
- Surgical Complications
Background:
- Splenic infarction risk after splenorenal arterial bypass (SRB) is typically deemed low due to extensive collateral circulation.
- Previous literature has not extensively documented splenic infarction as a complication post-SRB.
