Abstract:

A 67-year-old man with a portal-systemic shunt confirmed by three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) was successfully treated by percutaneous vascular embolization. The patient had aggravated loss of memory, disorientation, and hyperammonemia. A gastrorenal shunt 16 mm in diameter was found by 3D-CT reconstructed by helical computed tomography (CT). Embolization was performed only in the shunt percutaneously through the inferior vena cava. One year after the embolization, no recurrence of portal-systemic encephalopathy and no portal hypertension have appeared, and the clinical course has been good.
