Anaesthetic management of type II abernethy malformation posted for endovascular device closure

Abstract

Abernethy malformation is a rare congenital vascular malformation in which anomalous communication is seen between portal and systemic circulation. While treating the main goal is to prevent shunting of portal blood into the systemic circulation and preserving hepatic blood flow. This can be achieved surgically or non-surgical method. We report anaesthetic management of non-surgical closure of type II Abernethy malformation of 10 year old female child who had undergone ostium secundum ASD (atrial septal defect) patch closure.
