Abstract

We present a case of TIPS occlusion in which a small caliber transhepatic safety or anchoring wire in combination with a standard transjugular approach were utilized to recanalize the TIPS, portal and splenic veins. This technique may be a useful adjunct to the typical methods used for recanalization of thrombosed TIPS, portal and splenic veins without the need of large caliber transhepatic sheath access.
