pubmed:abstractText |
We describe a case in which a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) was inserted to enable palliative treatment of an adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. The cirrhotic patient presented with esophageal varices in contact with a tumor of the esophagus. By relieving portal pressure, TIPS reduced the risk of hemorrhage during laser resection and prevented recurrence of esophageal varices.
