Figure 2. — Embolization of SPSS from IMV to ICV.

(a) Dilated IMV (arrows) and large shunt (arrowhead), that drains to ICV. Volume rendering image. (b) Contrast-enhanced shunt during the angiographic procedure, showing the drainage of the collateral from IMV to IVC. Angiography image (digital subtraction ). (c) After the embolization with Amplatzer (arrowhead), distal diameter of IMV was reduced (thick arrows). New collaterals through left colic vein (thin arrows) to IVC were developed. Volume rendering image.

CT: computed tomography; IVC, inferior vena cava; IMV, inferior mesenteric vein; SPSS, spontaneous portosystemic shunt.
