Figure 3 Computed tomography (CT) scans showing resolution of the spontaneous splenorenal shunt (SSRS) after left renal vein ligation. (A) Large SSRS branches (arrows) were identified at the pre-transplant CT. (B) SSRS disappeared at CT scan taken 3 months after transplantation. (C, D) Follow-up CT scans taken 21 years after transplantation showed absence of SSRS with left renal vein outflow drainage through the enlarged left gonadal vein (arrow).
