Transjugular intrahepatic portocaval shunt (TIPS) is performed in patients with symptomatic Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) who do not have repairable hepatic veins. We report the case of a patient who had an inferior vena cava (IVC) stent placed previously as part of the management for BCS, and who subsequently required TIPS. The TIPS tract was created through the strut of the previously placed IVC stent; the TIPS stent was placed after dilatation of the liver parenchyma as well as the strut of the IVC stent. This novel technique of "strutplasty" of a previously placed stent as part of TIPS has not been reported in the literature.
经颈静脉肝内门体分流术(TIPS)适用于患有症状性布加综合征(BCS)且不可修复肝静脉的患者。我们报告了 1 例先前因 BCS 接受下腔静脉(IVC)支架置入术的患者,随后需要进行 TIPS。TIPS 通道是通过先前放置的 IVC 支架的支柱创建的;在扩张肝实质和 IVC 支架的支柱后,放置 TIPS 支架。这种将先前放置的支架作为 TIPS 一部分进行“支柱成形术”的新技术尚未在文献中报道。
