reasoning behind portal-systemic anastomoses

-veins involved in anastomoses?
-site of anastomoses?
-clinical sign?
In portal HTN, the goal is to avoid the liver. Thus, veins that usually drain to portal V (to supply blood to liver) instead drain into systemic veins (which are leaving the liver and about to drain into IVC). This decreases blood flow thru the liver (goal).

1. Left gastric vein usually drains into portal vein (goes from stomach to liver), but in portal HTN, it bypasses the liver & instead drains into esophageal vein (==>IVC)
==>incr blood flow thru esophageal vein
==>esophageal varices

*site of anastomoses=esophagus

2. Paraumbilical vein usually drains into portal vein (goes from umbilicus to liver), but in portal HTN, it bypasses the liver & instead drains into superior and inferior epigastric veins (==>IVC)
==>incr blood flow through epigastric veins
==>caput medusa

*site of anastomoses=umbilicus

3. Superior rectal usually drains into portal vein (goes from rectum to liver), but in portal HTN, it bypasses the liver & instead drains into middle and inferior rectal vein (==>IVC)
==>incr blood flow in inferior rectal vein
==>hemorrhoids

*site of anastomoses=rectum


SUMMARY:
Portal <==> Systemic Anastomoses:

1. L gastric V <==>Esophageal V (site of anastomoses=esophagus)
==>esophageal varices

2. Paraumbilical V <==> Sup & inf Epigastric V (site of anastomoses=umbilicus)
==>caput medusae

3. sup rectal V <==> middle & inf rectal V (site of anastomoses=rectum)
==>hemorrhoids
