Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided Mesocaval Shunt Creation in Patients with Portal or Mesenteric Venous Occlusion
Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided Mesocaval Shunt Creation in Patients with Portal or Mesenteric Venous Occlusion JOURNAL OF VASCULAR AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY Hong, R., Dhanani, R. S., Louie, J. D., Sze, D. Y. 2012; 23 (1): 136-141Abstract
