Abstract
Three cases of intraperitoneal bleeding from extrahepatic portal vein laceration were observed in a series of 104 patients with TIPS. In one patient, bleeding continued after Wallstent placement and the patient died during an emergency laparotomy. Bleeding was stopped in the othe r two patients by using a stent graft rather than a regular stent. One shunt remained patent and outflow stenosis developed in 3 months. The other shunt thrombosed in 5 months. Both shunts were fully reopened.
