Introduction: Portal vein aneurysms (PVA) and intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunts are rarely diagnosed clinically.
Patient Concerns: A 75-year-old female was admitted to our hospital for evaluation of significant weight loss, diabetes, and an irregularly shaped cystic lesion in the left lateral lobe of the liver.
Diagnosis: The patient was diagnosed with a portal vein aneurysm combined with an intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt using multiple imaging techniques.
Interventions: The patient had no relevant clinical symptoms of PVA with concurrent intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt; hence, no interventions were performed. Ultrasonography was suggested to be performed every 3 months.
Outcomes: The patient did not visit the hospital after discharge; however, 4 telephonic follow-up evaluations showed that the patient was well.
Lessons: Multimodal imaging techniques should be used to evaluate the source of blood flow, presence or absence of shunts, and the course, number, and location of the shunts to prevent misdiagnosis of this disease.

Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University, Vascular and Intrventional Radiology. Electronic address:
Introduction: Recurrent portal hypertension (PH) after liver transplant (LT) and its management are not well-studied. This study aims to evaluate the impact of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) on outcomes of recurrent PH.
Methods: From a cohort of 1846 LT recipients, 36 patients who underwent TIPS creation after LT were identified and considered as cases.

Purpose: To compare costs of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation versus non-IVUS-guided TIPS creation, accounting for differences in procedure time and resource utilization.
Materials And Methods: This single institution retrospective study estimated procedure time and resource utilization from 157 consecutive elective TIPS creation procedures, of which 91 were IVUS-guided and 66 were non-IVUS-guided. Differences in procedure costs were derived using time-driven activity-based costing.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of intrahepatic portal vein branching (IHPB)-grade assessment using preoperative CT angiography (CTA) on the surgical procedure and prognosis prediction for dogs with an extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (EHPSS).
Methods: This study involved 146 client-owned dogs with EHPSS. The shunt morphology of EHPSS and IHPB grades was determined using CTA.
Gut microbiota shifts in hepatitis B-related portal hypertension after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: Mechanistic and clinical implications.
World J Gastroenterol

Department of Infectious Diseases, The First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou 350004, Fujian Province, China.
In this article, we provide commentary on the recent article by Zhao . We focus on the shifts in the gut microbiota of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated cirrhosis/portal hypertension (PH) following transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) and the implications for understanding the mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment. By comparing the gut microbiota composition and dynamic changes before and after TIPS in patients with and without hepatic encephalopathy, the authors found an increase in non-probiotic bacteria in those who developed hepatic encephalopathy post-TIPS, with species present only in the hepatic encephalopathy group.

Ultrasound Unit, Helen Schneider Hospital for Women, Rabin Medical Center, Beilinson Hospital, Petach Tikva, Israel.
Objective: Portosystemic shunts in growth-restricted fetuses are more common than previously thought. We aimed to describe fetuses with growth restriction and transient oligohydramnios in which a congenital intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (CIPSS) was noted during follow-up.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of all fetuses diagnosed with growth restriction and transient oligohydramnios during a 5-year period in a large tertiary referral center.
