Abstract

A case of myocardial infarction following a distal splenorenal shunt, a selective portal-systemic shunt, in a cirrhotic patient is reported. The post-operative cardiac morbidity was probably related to the hyperdynamic cardiovascular state associated with liver cirrhosis and the increase in intramyocardial tension upon formation of the distal splenorenal shunt.
