    A three-month-old infant with jaundice and growth retardation was diagnosed with a large intrahepatic CPSS via imaging.

  • 3

    Endovascular coil embolization was successfully performed to close the shunt, leading to normalization of liver function tests.

  • 4

    An early complication of coil migration into the pulmonary artery was managed successfully with endovascular retrieval.

    This case demonstrates the effectiveness of endovascular intervention for large intrahepatic CPSS in very young infants.
