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.[SDGs]SDG3urokinase; warfarin; adult; article; blood clot lysis; case report; clinical feature; Doppler echography; esophagus varices bleeding; female; human; liver cirrhosis; liver vein obstruction; percutaneous thrombectomy; percutaneous transhepatic drainage; portal hypertension; portal phlebography; portal vein; recanalization; recurrent disease; splenic vein; stent thrombosis; surgical approach; transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt; vein catheterization; Adult; Esophageal and Gastric Varices; Female; Humans; Hypertension, Portal; Liver Cirrhosis; Portasystemic Shunt, Transjugular Intrahepatic; Reoperation; Stents; Vascular Patencyjournal article10.3348/kjr.2010.11.4.469205929312-s2.0-77954828205
