Portovenography improved contrast enhancement and slightly enlarged the intrahepatic portal vasculature.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Clinical Significance</jats:title><jats:p>CT angiography cannot replace intraoperative mesenteric portovenography after temporary full ligation, which provides information on intrahepatic portal vascularity. It is a practical and dynamic procedure, providing results that are instantaneously available at the time of surgery. In addition, intraoperative post‐temporary, full‐ligation, mesenteric portography confirmed that the single shunting vessel had both been recognised and ligated.</jats:p></jats:sec>
