title: Spontaneous Intrahepatic Portal Venous Shunt: Presentation and Endovascular Treatment.
abstract: Spontaneous intrahepatic portal venous shunts are rare with only few case reports published. Treatments using various endovascular techniques have been described, although no single technique has been shown to be preferred. We present a patient who was referred for treatment of a spontaneous portal venous shunt and describe our treatment approach and present a review on previously reported cases.
