Abstract
Previous investigators have reported on cases with patent ductus venosus (PDV) successfully treated with transcatheter embolization (1–3). There can be some cases, however, in which it is difficult to place the embolic materials because of the size and shape of the PVD. Herein, we report on a rare case of large persistent ductus venosus that was successfully treated with coil embolization. We attempted the double-catheter method for the case with a large PDV. A 2-year-old girl with hyperammonemia and hypergalactosemia detected with newborn screening tests was diagnosed with a congenital intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt at abdominal ultrasonography (US).
