Portal vein surgery, X-ray C016 / 6545
Vein surgery. Coloured angiogram (X-ray) of surgery to lower the blood pressure in the portal vein of a 60 year old patient. A catheter (black line running down from top centre) has been used to form a channel (shunt) between the portal vein, which moves blood from the digestive system to the liver, and the hepatic vein, which carries blood away from the liver. A stent (curved wire mesh tube, brown) is holding this TIPSS (transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt) open. The high blood pressure has been causing oesophageal bleeding

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable surgical procedure known as portal vein surgery. The image, labeled X-ray C016 / 6545, provides a vivid insight into the intricate world of vascular medicine and the innovative techniques employed to combat serious health conditions. In this particular case, a 60-year-old patient suffering from high blood pressure in the portal vein underwent this life-changing operation. The colored angiogram reveals the meticulous steps taken by medical professionals to lower the blood pressure and alleviate associated complications. A catheter can be seen extending downwards from the top center of the image, forming a vital channel or shunt between the portal vein and hepatic vein. This transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPSS) is held open by a stent - an ingenious curved wire mesh tube depicted in brown hues. The significance of this procedure lies in its ability to restore normal blood flow within the liver while mitigating oesophageal bleeding caused by elevated pressures. By creating an alternative route for blood circulation, surgeons successfully address this disorder that has been plaguing individuals like our brave patient. This awe-inspiring photograph not only highlights scientific advancements but also underscores humanity's unwavering commitment to improving healthcare outcomes for all ages. It serves as a testament to both medical expertise and technological innovation in tackling complex ailments affecting vital organs such as our liver.
