Abstract

Percutaneous transhepatic treatment of portal vein thrombosis after liver transplantation in a patient with a preexisting high volume spontaneous splenorenal shunt is presented. Local thrombolysis with urokinase and balloon angioplasty of the main portal vein stenosis were performed followed by shunt embolization to restore hepatopetal portal blood flow.
