    AbstractWe herein report the first case of interventional radiology for a left gastric vein aneurysm with a gastrorenal shunt. The etiology of the aneurysm was considered secondary to portal hypertension and liver cirrhosis due to hepatitis B virus infection. As the aneurysm was asymptomatic but had a tendency to expand, we successfully performed coil embolization for the aneurysm through a gastrorenal shunt.
