Background: Chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the portal vein is one of the main causes of portal hypertension, which may result in life-threatening complications often managed by interventional radiology (IR). The aim of this study is to report the innovative experience with percutaneous revascularization therapy in the management of portal vein CTO in paediatric and adult patients.

Materials And Methods: From January 2020 to December 2023 consecutive paediatric and adult patients with severe portal hypertension resulting from portal vein CTO who underwent attempts at percutaneous recanalization were retrospectively reviewed.

Congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSS) are rare pediatric vascular malformations characterized by abnormal development of the portal vein, which is attributed to incomplete embryonic remodeling of the hepatic and surrounding vasculature. CPSS manifests in two main forms: intrahepatic and extrahepatic. This study details the management of a pediatric patient diagnosed with Congenital Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (CIPS) who was referred to our institution.
