title: Acute Portal Vein Thrombosis, No Longer a Contraindication for Transjugular Intrahepatic Porto-Systemic Shunt (TIPS) Insertion.
abstract: Portal vein thrombosis, once considered as a contraindication to transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt (TIPS) is now considered as an indication. We report a case with clinical and technical success in a patient with Budd Chiari syndrome and acute portal venous thrombosis. Though it is a well-established option, with the best of our knowledge, we could not find a report from India.
