Abstract
We report a cirrhotic patient with complete occlusion of the portal ve in with marked cavernous transformation due to chronic thrombosis in w hom a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) was success fully created after direct minilaparotomy mesenteric vein catheterizat ion, lysis and aspiration of the thrombus, and stenting in the portal vein. The methods used, we believe, provide a new technique for perfor ming TIPS in chronically thrombosed portal veins in which previously n o effective surgical therapeutic options were available.
