Abstract
A transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an increasingly u sed method of treating variceal bleeding from portal hypertension. Many pat ients are subsequently listed for transplantation, which may be complicated by malposition of the inferior end of the TIPS stent. This report details such a case and offers a surgical technique to savage this situation. Copyr ight (C) 2000 by the American Association for the study of Liver Diseases.
