- Abstract
Dissection of the portal vein is a rare entity which has been rarely described during transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure. We report three cases of dissection during this procedure and their complications. One dissection was immediately treated with coaxial stents. The two others were complicated either by a thrombus or by a false aneurysm. In the first case a second parallel stent was used to treat this complication. The patient with the portal vein false aneurysm was transplanted 4 days after this diagnosis. Portal vein dissection in TIPS procedure appeared to be less rare than has been reported and must be considered as a potential cause of TIPS dysfunction.
