==Description==

==Introduction==

'''Portosystemic shunts (PSS)''' are anomalous vascular connections between the portal and systemic venous systems.  These vessels shunt blood from the '''hepatic portal vein''' (deriving from the stomach, intestines, [[Pancreas - Anatomy & Physiology|pancreas]] and [[Spleen - Anatomy & Physiology|spleen]]) directly into '''systemic venous system''', bypassing the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]].
