Peritoneocystic Shunting for Ascites

Abstract: The study was designed to determine if a prototype pump could be successfully implanted in the abdomen and effectively remove excess fluid without causing complications for a 1-month period. The procedure was performed on four swine under general anesthesia. A standard two-valve Denver shunt was implanted under the skin with the efferent limb implanted in the urinary bladder. The effectiveness of the pump was verified in vivo by pumping normal saline irrigated into the abdomen. The incision was closed and the … Show more

“…However, serious complications have been recognised, particularly hepatic encephalopathy, and contraindications for TIPS are congestive heart failure and severe pulmonary hypertension (Colombato 2007). A different approach may be the creation of a peritoneo‐vesical shunt, which has been used in a case of malignant ascites (Stehman and Ehrlich 1984) and experimentally in pigs (Nounou 2006). The aim of this case report is to describe the placement of a novel peritoneo‐vesical shunt system in a dog with refractory ascites associated with pre‐ and postsinusoidal portal hypertension.…”
