Maximum intensity projection in transverse plane (a) and dorsoventral view projection in splenoportography (b) of a dog with gastroduodenal-caval shunt, which was graded as “open” in CTA and “closed” in splenoportography. In CTA there is a fine hyperattenuating connection (arrow) visible between the former shunt vessel (PSS) and the caudal vena cava (CVC). Note the portal vein (PV) ventral to the caudal vena cava and medial to the dilated epigastric vein (Ep) in CTA images. In splenoportography there was no flow of contrast medium into the caudal vena cava visible. All intrahepatic portal branches (PV) can be clearly seen in splenoportography with a fine arborization within the liver parenchyma
