Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Transjugular intrahepatic portocaval shunt (TIPS) is performed in patients with symptomatic Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) who do not have repairable hepatic veins. We report the case of a patient who had an inferior vena cava (IVC) stent placed previously as part of the management for BCS, and who subsequently required TIPS. The TIPS tract was created through the strut of the previously placed IVC stent; the TIPS stent was placed after dilatation of the liver parenchyma as well as the strut of the IVC stent. This novel technique of "strutplasty" of a previously placed stent as part of TIPS has not been reported in the literature. |
