title: Intrahepatic portosystemic venous anomaly in the dog. Perioperative management and complications.
abstract: Hypotension, hemorrhage, and acute hepatic congestion were common complications during surgical correction of intrahepatic portosystemic venous anomalies in 13 dogs. Acute splanchnic congestion and hyperthermia were the most serious postoperative complications. Three dogs died within 24 hours; 10 dogs are alive and well after 12 to 46 months.
