Abstract:

Severe Veno-Occlusive Disease (VOD) of the liver is an important cause of mortality after bone marrow transplantation. This paper reports the case of a child that underwent Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) for life-threatening VOD after following haploidentical bone marrow transplantation for acute lymphatic leukemia. TIPS permitted regression of the hepatic symptoms as decreased aminotransferase levels and resolution of ascites. TIPS were an effective method for portal decompression.
