This paper describes transvenous coil embolization of portosystemic shunt in 10 dogs. Clinical signs resolved in 4 dogs with extrahepatic shunt, and in 3 dogs with intrahepatic shunt. Two dogs of less than 3 kg died because of migration of coils to the level of the main pulmonary artery. One dog was euthanized when acute portal hypertension developed following transvenous coil embolization. Transvenous coil embolization seems to be a less invasive alternative to surgical ligation in dogs with a single intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.

The most frequent of the embryonic persistent arteries that connect the internal carotid artery to the posterior circulation is the persistent primitive trigeminal artery (PPTA), which is recognized on 0.1%-0.6% on the basis of conventional angiography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

The selection of an appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) type and implantation strategy involves a myriad of considerations. While transvenous ICDs are standard, the rise of non-transvenous options like subcutaneous ICDs and extravascular ICDs is notable for their lower complication rates. Historical preferences for dual chamber ICDs have shifted to single-chamber ICDs.

Background: Transvenous coil embolization (TVCE) is a common and effective treatment for cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas (CSDAVFs). However, some patients may experience residual fistulas or worsening visual symptoms after the procedure. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of transvenous coil and Onyx embolization (TVCOE) with TVCE in treating CSDAVFs.

Background And Aims: Gastric variceal bleeding occurs less commonly than bleeding from esophageal varices (EVs), although it is associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Bleeding from gastroesophageal varices type 1 (GOV1) is treated like EVs. In contrast, other forms of gastric variceal bleeding, including gastroesophageal varices type 2 (GOV2) and isolated gastric varices types 1 (IGV1) and 2 (IGV2), are treated with varying endoscopic approaches.

Objective: An intraosseous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a rare fistula with an intracranial shunted pouch. A case of an intraosseous AVF at the squamous part of the occipital bone with spontaneous occlusion of diploic venous drainage is described.
Case Presentation: The patient, a Japanese woman in her 80s, presented with headaches at the back of the head and a history of multiple unruptured cerebral aneurysms but no recent head trauma.
