Title: | Recanalization of an occluded intrahepatic portosystemic covered stent via the percutaneous transhepatic approach | Authors: | CHIH-YANG CHAN PO-CHIN LIANG |
Issue Date: | 2010 | Journal Volume: | 11 | Journal Issue: | 4 | Start page/Pages: | 469-471 | Source: | Korean Journal of Radiology | Abstract: | A 41-year-old woman with liver cirrhosis had recurrent portal hypertension and bleeding from esophageal varices due to complete occlusion of a previously inserted transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt stent. Because recanalization of the stent by the transjugular approach was unsuccessful, ultrasound-guided entry to the splenic vein and portal vein was used. After catheter-directed intrathrombus thrombolysis, successful opening of the stent was achieved and a stent was placed. We herein report a rare case in which thrombolysis and recanalization of a TIPS stent were performed via a percutaneous transhepatic approach. |
