Abstract
- Hepatic encephalopathy caused by a large portosystemic shunt (PSS) can be treated by endovascular embolization of the shunt. The PSS diameter can be >20 mm; it occasionally poses technical difficulties. Here, a 72-year-old woman with liver cirrhosis, hyperammonemia, and large spleno-renal shunt underwent shunt embolization using an Amplatzer vascular plug 2 (AVP2) and metallic coils. The preloading coil in plug method (p-CIP), which facilitated embolization inside the AVP2 without cannulation from outside, was employed to overcome technical difficulties. We propose the use of p-CIP with an AVP2 as a tool for treatment of hepatic encephalopathy with PSS.
