Liver shunts are also known as portosystemic shunts. A liver shunt is a blood vessel that carries blood around the liver instead of through it. Liver shunts is prevalent in the Yorkshire Terrier breed and is found in other dog breeds as well.
An ameroid constrictor is the device used to close off a single shunt. If you would like to see what one looks like, click on Ameroid Constrictor.
