Popis: A complication of transjugular and direct intrahepatic portosystemic stent (TIPS and DIPS) graft is stent blockage. Routinely described procedures for shunt revision include angioplasty, deployment of endoprosthesis, catheter-directed thrombolysis, or rarely performing a second parallel TIPS/DIPS. We describe a case of hepatic vein outflow tract obstruction who presented with DIPS blockage. We performed a revision where a new stent was placed by a lateral puncture through the fenestration of the existing dysfunctioning DIPS stent graft. In our opinion, this alternate technique has theoretical advantages over the conventionally described parallel TIPS/DIPS as it prevents the creation of a completely new long hepatic parenchymal tract.
