| Popis: | Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an important therapeutic tool available to decrease portal vein pressure in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. TIPS is associated with various complications, and fistula formation is an important one to be noted. We present an unusual and interesting case of a patient who developed right-sided heart failure 5 months after TIPS placement. Diagnostic workup revealed an uncommon fistula between the celiac artery trunk and portal vein that was successfully treated with angiography-guided embolization, resulting in clinical improvement. |
