Cover Story: This study reports the outcome of dogs with a congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt treated with a ‘complete ligation where possible’ philosophy and compares the outcome between dogs able to tolerate complete acute ligation of their shunt to dogs only able to tolerate partial thin-film-band partial closure of their shunt. The findings demonstrate that dogs receiving either complete acute shunt ligation or partial thin-film-band shunt closure are expected to have an excellent long-term clinical outcome and there is no reason to suggest that a dog able to tolerate complete acute shunt closure should be denied the benefit of this. However, dogs receiving thin-film-band partial shunt closure had a greater number of unchanged bile acid concentrations after surgery, were more likely to remain under medical management after surgery and underwent a greater number of revision surgeries.
