Abstract
We describe a technique to aid in technically difficult transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedures by sonographically guided transabdominal fine-needle portal vein puncture for placement of a 0.018-inch platinum-tipped target guidewire within an appropriate portal venous branch.
