Popis:	Recent advances in antiviral therapy have enabled control of the hepatitis virus; however, these do not completely eliminate the pathological condition of liver disease, and portal hypertension remains a clinical problem. We herein report a case of hepatitis B virus/hepatitis C virus (HBV/HCV)-induced decompensated liver cirrhosis for which total management consisting of interventional radiology and endoscopy, based on the evidence of our clinical studies, followed by antiviral therapy for co-infection with HBV and HCV was successful. This case clearly indicates the effective timing of total management, suggesting that it prolongs the vital prognosis in addition to improving the hepatic function.
