ABSTRACT
Portal vein occlusion has previously been considered as a contraindication for TIPS placement. Several recent reports have suggested that placement of TIPS may be effective in patients with occluded portal veins to embolize varices and recanalize venous obstruction. We experienced a case of variceal bleeding associated with portal vein thrombosis who was success- fully treated with TIPS placement. So we report the case with a brief review of literatures.
KeyWords: TIPS , Portal vein thrombosis
