The Right

A 45-year-old man with incidentally discovered, unresectable HCC were treated with TACE to the left hepatic lobe and TARE to the right hepatic lobe. Upon retrospective review, he was found to have a congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt with the absence of the portal vein (Abernethy malformation). This case report discusses variant splanchnic and portal anatomy in the setting of rare, congenital portosystemic shunts and evaluates types of liver-directed therapies for HCC in this setting.

Emerging Therapy

While balloon-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) has been used for two decades in Asia for the management of gastric variceal bleeding, it is still an emerging therapy elsewhere. Given the shunt closure brought about by the procedure, BRTO has also been used for the management of portosystemic encephalopathy with promising results. Modified versions of BRTO have been developed, including plug-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration (PARTO), where a vascular plug is deployed within a portosystemic shunt. To our knowledge, we present the first North American case of PARTO in the setting of a large splenorenal shunt for the management of portosystemic encephalopathy.
