[Hemolysis associated with intrahepatic percutaneous portosystemic shunt].
Two cases of intravascular hemolysis in patients with intrahepatic percutaneous portosystemic shunt are described. This is a recently reported complication, the incidence of which currently remains unknown. Following analysis of different possible mechanisms, it is suggested that a relationship may exist between the hemolysis and the number of the inserted prosthesis and length of the intraportal segment of the stent.
