A comparison of the Ameroid constrictor versus ligation in the surgical management of single extrahepatic portosystemic shunts

ST Murphy, GW Ellison, M Long, and J Van Gilder

Twenty-two dogs were managed surgically for a single extrahepatic portosystemic shunt; 12 with surgical ligation and 10 with an Ameroid constrictor. Utilization of the Ameroid constrictor significantly decreased surgery time to approximately half that of the ligation technique. A decreased intraoperative and postoperative complication rate was noted with the Ameroid constrictor group. Follow-up evaluation demonstrated comparable efficacy when comparing surgical techniques. The Ameroid constrictor offered a surgical occlusion technique for management of a single extra-hepatic portosystemic shunt that was equally effective to ligation while shortening surgical time and minimizing the risks that are commonly associated with ligation of the shunting vessel.
