Peri-operative Anticoagulation Strategies, Bleeding and Thrombotic Complications in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Intervention for Congenital Portosystemic Shunts

Congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSS) are rare congenital abnormalities causing abnormal blood flow between the portal vein and systemic circulation. This study reports on the peri-operative anticoagulation management of CPSS patients post closure, focusing on the incidence of thrombotic and bleeding complications.
