Abstract

Abstract: We report a 14-year-old boy with a large intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt. The shunt seemed to be difficult to coil embolize because it was so large and short. However, it was successfully treated by coil embolization with a new dual microcatheter-dual detachable coil technique.
