Shunt, Portosystemic, Endoprosthesis
The Portosystemic Endoprosthesis Shunt is an implantable device placed within the hepatic vasculature to create a portosystemic shunt, diverting blood from the portal venous system to the systemic circulation to relieve portal hypertension in patients with cirrhosis or other liver disease. As a Class 3 implantable device, it requires Premarket Approval (PMA) due to the serious risks associated with intravascular implantation and hepatic blood flow alteration. It carries an implant flag, and no regulation number or medical specialty code is recorded.
