Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Late intrahepatic hematoma is a rare complication of the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure. We describe a patient with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) who presented with a large intrahepatic hematoma 13 days after TIPS. Review of the literature revealed only 2 previous cases, both occurring in patients with BCS and presenting after a similar time interval. This potentially serious complication appears to be specific for TIPS in BCS.
