Mahidol University Reports Findings in Blood Research (The effectiveness of alternative vessel grafts for meso-rex bypass in the treatment of extrahepatic portal vein obstruction in children).

A study conducted at Mahidol University in Bangkok, Thailand, evaluated the effectiveness of alternative autologous vessel grafts in creating a Meso-Rex bypass (MRB) for treating extrahepatic portal vein obstruction in children. The research found that alternative autologous vessel grafts were successful in resolving symptoms of portal hypertension compared to the distal splenorenal shunt (DSRS). The study concluded that MRB with alternative autologous vessel grafts is an effective treatment option for children with extrahepatic portal vein obstruction. [Extracted from the article]
