Description
Xiaobing Wang and four co-authors describe a combined procedure for a blocked portal vein in a man with advanced liver disease. Their 2024 case report concerns a 69-year-old man who arrived with black stools and vomited blood after four days of bleeding. Scans showed the portal vein blocked and rerouted, with cirrhosis, a swollen spleen, and fluid in the belly.
A team review ruled out standard endoscopic, surgical, and tumor treatments. Care centered on two goals: reopening the vein and sampling the blockage to check for cancer. The doctors paired a shunt placed through the jugular vein with ultrasound-guided endoscopy for the recanalization and biopsy. Combining the two routes let them treat and diagnose in one plan. The report offers the pairing as an option when a malignant blockage leaves few choices.
