Abstract
Abstract
Background
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an established intervention to treat complicated portal hypertension refractory to medical or endoscopic management. TIPS dysfunction results in the recurrence of portal hypertension symptoms. In cases of TIPS dysfunction or persistent portal hypertension despite a patent primary TIPS, the creation of parallel TIPS may be the only intervention to effectively reduce portal pressure. Since the introduction of dedicated TIPS stents (Viatorr®) the incidence of TIPS dysfunction has reduced profoundly. Nevertheless, the creation of a parallel TIPS can still be necessary in the current dedicated TIPS stent era.
Case presentation
We report one such patient who experienced ongoing portal hypertension induced upper gastro-intestinal haemorrhage despite multiple TIPS revisions and a patent primary TIPS.
Conclusion
Following creation of a parallel TIPS, the patient remains in clinical remission with no further bleeding.
