title: Vascular complication of a transjugular intrahepatic portacaval stent.
abstract: The percutaneous transjugular intrahepatic portacaval stent shunt is a nonsurgical approach to portosystemic shunting. The case of a large defect seen on a radiocolloid liver--spleen scan is attributed to a hepatic infarct related to the shunting procedure.
