  • Title: Hepatic veins and inferior vena cava thrombosis in a child treated by transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.
    Author: Carnevale FC, Santos AC, Tannuri U, Cerri GG.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2010 Jun; 33(3):627-30. PubMed ID: 19609602.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 9-year-old boy with portal hypertension, due to Budd-Chiari syndrome, and retrohepatic inferior vena cava thrombosis, submitted to a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) by connecting the suprahepatic segment of the inferior vena cava directly to the portal vein. After 3 months, the withdrawal of anticoagulants promoted the thrombosis of the TIPS. At TIPS revision, thrombosis of the TIPS and the main portal vein and clots at the splenic and the superior mesenteric veins were found. Successful angiography treatment was performed by thrombolysis and balloon angioplasty of a severe stenosis at the distal edge of the stent.
