Abstract
Type II Abernethy malformations, characterized by side-to-side portosystemic shunting with preserved intrahepatic portal venous system, have been treated with shunt closure surgically and endovascularly. Three-dimensional printing has been used to develop highly accurate patient-specific representations for surgical and endovascular planning and intervention. This innovation describes 3-dimensional printing to successfully close a flush-oriented type II Abernethy malformation with discrepant dimensions on computed tomography, conventional venography, and intravascular ultrasound, using a 12-mm Amplatzer atrial septal occluder device.
