| Abstract |
Although Rex shunt is an effective treatment for extrahepatic portal venous obstruction (EHPVO), 4-20% children develop rebleeding postoperatively. This study was used to evaluate the surgical treatment of rebleeding after Rex shunt in our center. From June 2008 to Jan 2017, 12 of 122 children with EHPVO underwent a second operation due to graft stenosis and occlusion after Rex shunt in our center. The abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) showed the occlusion of bypass vein in nine children, stenosis of bypass vein in two children, and the patency of bypass vein in one child with dysplasia of intrahepatic portal vein. A re-Rex shunt was performed in eight children, of which one child required conversion to Warren shunt due to postoperative rebleeding. Five children underwent Warren shunt due to a narrowed left portal vein shown by intraoperative portal angiography and surgical exploration. All patients were followed up in this study. The postoperative incidences of re-bleeding and esophageal varices in children with Warren shunt were significantly lower than those in children undergoing re-Rex shunt (P = 0.027 and 0.015). After a second operation, the rate of bypass vein patency in children with re-Rex shunt was lower than that in children with Warren shunt (50 vs. 100%). The postoperative reduced size of spleen in children undergoing Warren shunt was significantly higher than that of children undergoing re-Rex shunt (P < 0.05). Comparing to re-Rex shunt, Warren shunt was a better treatment for rebleeding caused by bypass failure after Rex shunt. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 April 2018.
All research outputs
#20,481,952
of 23,043,346 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Surgery International
#953
of 1,268 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#294,862
of 333,789 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Surgery International
#16
of 23 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,043,346 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,268 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.4. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 333,789 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 23 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
