[A case of alcoholic liver cirrhosis associated with portal vein thrombosis which was successfully treated by TIPS].
We reported a case of 51-year-old man with repeated bleeding from gastroesophageal varices and portal vein thrombosis which were successfully treated by transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) and thrombolysis. We used a flexible tip puncture needle (.038") which was thought to be safer than Colapinto needle (16G).
