    Abstract:
    The case of a 66-year-old woman with several episodes of hemorrhage by esophageal varices and ascites due to portal hypertension is presented. Despite 4 sessions of endoscopic sclerotherapy bleeding recurred. A transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt was performed. In the 10 months following the intervention, there was no further hemorrhage, the ascites disappeared and the shunt is open.
