BACKGROUND: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting (TIPS) has become an effective treatment for the complications of portal hypertension. We assessed the feasibility and outcome of TIPS in liver transplant recipients. METHODS: During the period from December 1992 to January 1998, eight adults presenting recurrent hepatitis C virus (five patients) and hepatitis B virus (one patient) infection, veno-occlusive disease (one patient), and secondary biliary cirrhosis (one patient) had TIPS because of refractory ascites (five patients), bleeding esophageal varices (one patient), refractory hepatic hydrothorax (one patient), retransplantation (two patients), and redo-biliary surgery (one patient). RESULTS: In two patients, the procedure w...
