liver shunt puppy

Puppy born Dec 2011, grew normal to other 3 in the litter. Concerns once leaving breeders home went from guardia to thoughts of food problems and now diagnosed with Liver Shunt (there were absolutely no signs from 0 - 14 weeks, everything was normal)
New owners have come up with
Percutaneous Transjugular Coil Embolization (PTCE), http://cvm.msu.edu/hospital/services/interventional-radiology/for-veterinarians-pet-owners

Anyone have any experience, thoughts?
They live in Canada and would like to stay within their own country but not at all adversed to crossing the border to treat the pup.

TIA
