title: Transcatheter occlusion of an intrahepatic venovenous fistula after modified Fontan circulation by implantation of an Amplatzer atrial septal occluder.
abstract: We report two successful transcatheter closures of intrahepatic venovenous malformations observed after bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomoses. These malformations were detected immediately after surgery in one case and during a 10-year follow-up in the second case. These intrahepatic venovenous malformations were successfully occluded by the implantation of an Amplatzer atrial septal occluder.
