Portal hypertension%Liver necrosis%Fibrosis%Cirrhosis
The introduction of transjugular intrahepatic portalsystemic stent-shunt (TIPSS) has been a major breakthrough in the treatment of portal hypertension,which has evolved to a large extent, into a routine procedure. A 21-year-old male patient with progressive graft fibrosis/cirrhosis requiring TIPSS for variceal hemorrhage in the esophagus due to portal hypertension was unresponsive to conventional measures two years after living related liver transplantation (LDLT).Subsequently, variceal hemorrhage was controlled,however, liver function decreased dramatically with consecutive multi organ failure. CT scan revealed substantial necrosis in the liver. The patient underwent successful "high urgent" cadaveric liver transplantation and was discharged on postoperative d 20 in a stable condition.
