Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Percutaneous transhepatic intrahepatic portosystemic shunt	Under fluoroscopic guidance, portal vein(PV) was punctured with a 22-gauge Chiba needle. A 0.018-inch guidewire was advanced through the needle into PV lumen. The needle was exchanged and a 7-French sheath inserted over the wire. Then retrohepatic inferior vena cava(RIVC) or hepatic vein(HV) was punctured with a 20-gauge, 30-cm Chiba needle through sheath. Another 0.018-inch guidewire was advanced through the needle into right internal jugular vein and then snared out of body. A 0.035-inch, 260-cm stiff shaft wire was then introduced through the transjugular sheath and manipulated into main portal vein(MPV) and then into superior mesenteric vein(SMV). Afterward the PTIPS procedure was completed in the standard transjugular fashion.
