Abstract

The type Aii shunt is a congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (ePSS) involving the left and right gastric vein and the caudal vena cava (CVC). This report describes the case of a 6-month-old Italian greyhound diagnosed with a type Aii large-diameter ePSS. Staged surgeries were employed to completely ligate the 2 gastric veins and to avoid the risk of traumatizing the shunt vessel, CVC, and celiac artery. Clinical signs improved postoperatively, and after 3 years, ultrasonography demonstrated no evidence of reoccurrence. This procedure provides an alternative surgical option for correction of ePSS type Aii.
