In the adjacent region of HCH, arterial-portal venous shunt (APVS) was found in 9 lesions and hepatic capsular retraction (HCR) in 4 lesions.

Objective to investigate the nursing effects of combined application of partial splenic embolization with disconnection of portal-systemic venous shunt to treat the portal hypertension.

These serve to shunt blood from the arterial to the venous side of the vascular system, thereby avoiding the capillaries, where exchange of oxygen and heat takes place.
