摘要：Introduction
Abernethy malformation is a rare congenital vascular abnormal-ity characterized by portal venous blood draining into systemic veins through an abnormal shunt vein[1].There is a consensus that symptomatic Abernethy malformation should be treated.The proposed therapeutic option for Type 1 Abernethy malfor-mation is liver transplantation,while Type 2 can be treated with shunt closure[1-3].Many studies have shown that the symptoms of Type 2 can be alleviated after shunt closure,with no signifi-cant difference in effectiveness between surgical ligation and in-terventional closure[1,3-6].Interventional closure has become increasingly important due to its advantages in diagnosis and treatment,and it is minimally invasive[1].A transjugular or transfemoral approach is the conventional interventional ap-proach to the shunt vein.However,in some cases,the above approaches may be difficult,such as in the recently reported adult case,which is considered as the first to be treated using percutaneous transhepatic interventional closure[7].
