Abstract EN
Abernethy malformations are a rare collection of congenital hepatic portosystemic shunts.
Our 19-year-old patient is with a type 2 Abernethy malformation elected permanent shunt closure following worsening dyspnea.
This report details a single stage endovascular technique wherein shunt closure was achieved immediately by placement of an aortic endograft.
At 5-month follow-up, the patient reported decreased shortness of breath.
Furthermore, ultrasound investigation demonstrated a patent portal vein and right heart catheterization 6 months after procedure revealed decreased pulmonary hypertension relative to preprocedure values.
This one step method may serve as an alternative treatment strategy to multistage endovascular closure techniques of type 2 Abernethy malformations.
