Ilioportal shunt during a venogram/lung scan

Clin Nucl Med. 1986 Dec;11(12):875-6. doi: 10.1097/00003072-198612000-00020.

Abstract

An interesting case of ilioportal shunting in a patient with seminoma and infrarenal thrombosis of the inferior vena cava, iliac and femoral veins is presented. This case demonstrates the utility of the nuclear venogram/lung scan for revealing venous collaterals in an ilioportal shunt, and illustrates shunting of femoral venous drainage into the mesenteric circulation, the portal veins, and the liver.
