Bile acid predicts congenital portosystemic venous shunt in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension

science

The etiology of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is complex, especially the investigation of rare pathogeny is difficult. Congenital portosystemic venous shunt (CPSS) is a rare congenital anomaly in which the portal blood completely or partially bypasses the liver through a congenital portosystemic shunt, and drains directly into the inferior vena cava (IVC) (Howard and Davenport in J Pediatr Surg 32:494-497, 1997).CPSS is an uncommon cause of PAH (Christiane et al. in J Pediatr
