Blood distribution and portal flow diversion under portography. A, B, C Blood distribution. A Represents type A (unilateral type with the right portal branch receives blood from SV), B represents type B (unilateral type with the right branch receives blood from SMV), C represents type C (bilateral opacification). D, E, F Portal flow diversion. D Represents SV superiority type (TIPS shunt diverts blood from SV), E represents SMV superiority type (TIPS shunt diverts blood from SMV), F represents mixed type (type C regardless of the puncture site). G, H, I Flow diversion under portography during TIPS procedure. G Represents SV superiority type (case with type A and puncture of the right branch), H represents SMV superiority type (case with type A and puncture of the left branch), I represents mixed type (case with mixed type and puncture of the left branch). SV splenic vein, SMV superior mesenteric vein, PV portal vein
