Denver Shunt Procedure (Peritoneo-Venous shunting)

[Guest guest]

If anyone is interested, I just found a great site for explanation of the

" Denver Shunt " procedure that Glenn will be having on August 29th, assuming his

pre-surgerical physical on August 19th is o.k.

Anyone have any idea where the line going down the body might end up???

This has me puzzled. I think Glenn's, from what I understand goes directly to

the portal vein in the liver...this is what makes it even more risky.

Interesting, huh?

Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle
