Abstract
Intrahepatic portosystemic shunt was encountered in 2 cats (10 and 5 months old) exhibiting neurological symptoms and general deterioration. Both cats were treated with coil embolization using a hybrid surgical technique combining conventional open surgery and interventional radiology techniques, achieving good postoperative outcomes (follow-up: 22 and 10 months, respectively).
