Core Tip	Portosystemic venous shunts are generally formed in patients with hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis due to portal hypertension. Adult cases of congenital intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (IPSVS) are extremely rare. Hepatic encephalopathy is an indication for IPSVS embolization. Minimally invasive treatments that use interventional techniques, such as transcatheter embolization, are being utilized increasingly recently; however, shunt embolization is technically challenging because rapid blood flow through shunts can induce the migration of embolization material to systemic veins. Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration with detachable coils can be effective for the endovascular treatment of an IPSVS.
