Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for portal vein thrombosis with and without cavernous transformation

Abstract

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt should be considered for selected patients with symptomatic complete portal vein thrombosis with/without cavernous transformation, as clinical improvement and less rebleeding occur when transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement is successful.
