Congenital intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt embolization: A two-case experience

Abstract

Congenital intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunts are rare vascular malformations which are incidentally discovered on imaging or once hepatic encephalopathy becomes clinically apparent. Surgical ligation and endovascular embolization are potential treatments.

Keywords: congenital intrahepatic portosystemic shunts; congenital portal vein malformations; contrast‐enhanced computer tomography; encephalopathy; hepatic venography.
