Core Tip	Marked arterioportal shunt (APS) can be a contraindication for transarterial radioembolization (TARE) because of the risk of radiation-induced liver toxicity or pneumonitis. In this case report, portal vein embolization was performed, for the first time, to close the APS outlet in a patient with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Single photon emission computed tomography revealed a low intrahepatic shunt and hepatopulmonary shunt, and TARE was performed successfully.
