Understanding the Pathophysiology of Portosystemic Shunt by Simulation Using an Electric Circuit

Table 2

The relationship between the location of shunt blockade and the expected fate of portosystemic shunt according to the cause of shunt formation.

Cause	Location of blockade
	Inflow	Outflow
Increase in portal pressure	Collapse	Persistent
Decrease in shunt resistance	Collapse	Collapse
