Successful embolisation of intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt using coils and n-butyl cyanoacrylate through two approach routes.
Interventional radiological treatment by transcatheter embolisation has been used to treat patients with symptomatic intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt (IPSVS). We present a case of symptomatic IPSVS treated by both retrograde and antegrade transcatheter embolisation using coils and n-butyl cyanoacrylate.
