| Popis: | We present the case of a patient with primary sclerosing cholangitis who presented a rapidly evolving cholestatic syndrome, with severe hyperbilirubinemia after placing a TIPS. It was resolved with a biliary prosthesis inserted by ERCP. To date, no similar cases have been described in the literature, as it is a rare complication and, on the other hand, the experience with TIPS in patients with PSC is limited. The causes of hyperbilirubinemia after TIPS placement are very varied and it is crucial to perform a differential diagnosis to establish an early treatment. |
