Diagnostic Approach: Portosystemic Vascular Anomalies (psva)

Key Points: • PSVA/MVD syndrome is a complex polygenic trait causing hepatic portal hypoperfusion. PSVA and MVD usually cannot be distinguished by liver biopsy alone. • PSVA associates with historical & clinicopathologic features lacking in MVD: low RBC MCV, cholesterol, BUN, creatinine, urine SG, and ammonium biurate crystalluria and uroliths • PSVA associates with low Protein C activity (100%...

Management of vascular anomalies is an emerging multidisciplinary, super-specialisation field involving several surgical, medical and radiological specialties. Over the years, development in this field has been limited because of complex nomenclature and lack of consensus on the best practice for treatment of some of the more complex vascular anomalies. It was only in 1996 that the Internationa...

Portovascular anomalies are most commonly seen as congenital communications in dogs and cats. Fixation, whether surgical or interventional, should be considered in all cases for which it is possible to improve perfusion to the liver, and ultimately liver function. Medical management before fixation is always recommended. If surgery is not recommended or not possible, long-term medical managemen...
