Multistage closure of a congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt

Abstract Background Congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunts (CEPS) are rare shunts connecting the extrahepatic portal system with the inferior vena cava. Shunt dimensions and the risk of portal hypertension determines the closure strategy. Endovascular treatment is indicated for single stage oc...
