Presentation
The abdominal lump and bruit were still present but there was no ascites. The haemogram, renal and liver function tests were within normal limits. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Very recent data based on experimental and clinical research projects are presented. The contributions have all been written by a team of internationally well recognized authorities in the various fields involved. [books.google.com]
Traumatic Aorto-Mesenteric-Portal Fistula Percutaneous management : Case Report Abstract Two months after a stab injury to the abdomen, a 35-year-old male presented at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences with haematemesis, shock and portal hypertension [journals.squ.edu.om]
In the present study, many variations in its tributaries have been observed and presented in [Table 1]. [mjdrdypu.org]
Entire Body System
- Atrial Septal Defect
The first was the placement of an atrial septal defect occluder across the aortic opening; the potential drawbacks of this technique would have been the possibility of occluding the renal artery origins, and prevention of any subsequent surgical repair [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
- Upper Abdominal Pain
The main clinical manifestations are upper abdominal pain, diarrhoea, oesophageal variceal bleeding and abdominal bruit. The bruit, as noted in this patient, can be either machinery or systolic murmur. [pmj.bmj.com]

In non GIT cause such as vascular disease or when the problem cannot be managed laparoscopically, laparotomy is indicated. [wjes.biomedcentral.com]
Workup
Through this case report, we hope to highlight awareness of this unusual condition, discuss the diagnostic workup and our management approach. [wjgnet.com]
Treatment
TY - JOUR T1 - Combined transhepatic portal venous and transarterial treatment of superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula in a patient with cirrhosis. [unboundmedicine.com]
Topics of parti- cular interest include feed-back regulation, new aspects of conservative and interventional treatment as well as modern surgical approaches including organ-preserving procedures. [books.google.com]
Therefore, a surgical treatment was considered to be the only suitable treatment for such severe ascites. Laparoscopic low anterior resection including APF in the mesorectum was performed using five ports. [sages.org]

Endovascular treatments are preferred due to the rich vascular supply of the liver and the relative ease of treatment using this approach [ 1 - 3, 5, 13 ]. [omicsonline.org]
Prognosis
Portal venous gas is often associated with a dismal prognosis, since it is related to extensive intestinal necrosis in 75% of all the cases [ 2 ]. [em-consulte.com]
Prognosis This depends on the prognosis of the underlying disease, and on the outcome of any complications such as variceal bleeding. [patient.info]
Gas in portal vein is a good predictive factor for diagnosis, management, and prognosis [ 56 ]. In the past the traditional teaching is to operate once you have radiological evidence of PVG. [wjes.biomedcentral.com]
Often, obviously dead segments are removed at the first operation, and a second-look operation is planned to assess segments that are borderline that may be savable after revascularization. [28] Prognosis [ edit ] The prognosis depends on prompt diagnosis [en.wikipedia.org]
The correct diagnosis and characterization of PVT is important for the prognosis and further treatment. [7] Portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) is a poor prognostic indicator, which is found at diagnosis in 10-40% of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
AVFs can occur as a result of blunt or penetrating traumas such as a gunshot or stab wound [ 1, 7 ] or idiopathic etiology [ 3, 4, 5 ]. [astr.or.kr]
This volume deals with all aspects of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS including epidemiology, etiology, morphology and pathophysiology, dia- gnostic imaging as well as conservative and operative treat- ment. [books.google.com]
Of the wide array of etiologies, mesenteric AVF is very rare, making this particular case of ischemic colitis caused by mesenteric AVF especially notable ( 3 ). [synapse.koreamed.org]
This fistula was of traumatic etiology and resulted in ongoing hemodynamically significant bleeding. [omicsonline.org]
Congenital etiologies often result in the formation of multiple AVFs[ 2 ], which are components of Osler-Weber-Rendu and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes[ 1, 9 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
Endoscopic vein ligation - to prevent bleeding of oesophageal varices. [patient.info]
Prevention of recurrent bleeding Once the initial bleeding has ceased, measures are instigated to prevent recurrence. These include prophylactic banding or sclerotherapy and the use of pharmacological agents such as oral β-blockers. [surgwiki.com]
In Asia it is routine to administer IV haptoglobin, which binds free hemoglobin, to prevent hemolysis-induced kidney damage. [radiologykey.com]
