Abstract
SP and LRVL represent 2 effective procedures to avoid vascular steal in the presence of SRS, but they require a patent portal vein. SP appears to be associated to specific but acceptable intraoperative morbidity, permits treatment of associated splenic artery aneurysm, and enables a faster correction of thrombocytopenia. However, the presence of a remote hilum SRS or another large portosystemic shunt represents a cause of failure of the procedure. LRVL is a safer and less demanding procedure that can suppress portal steal whatever the location of the SRS, but at the price of moderate renal morbidity.
