Percutaneous transvenous coil embolization (PTCE) for treatment of single extrahepatic portosystemic shunt in dogs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is limited information regarding percutaneous transvenous coil embolization (PTCE) for single extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (PSS). This study aimed to describe the procedure and outcome of PTCE in dogs with a single extrahepatic PSS. Forty-two privately owned dogs were included in this study. All dogs were diagnosed with extrahepatic PSS by computed tomography (CT). Preoperative CT images were used to evaluate the diameter of the PSS for coil placement. A multipurpose balloon catheter was percutaneously inserted into the PSS via the jugular vein, and transvenous retrograde portography (TRP) and measurement of blood pressure in the PSS (pPSS) were performed during balloon inflation; one or more embolization coils were implanted via the catheter.
