This study aimed to report the first case of a patient with hepatosplenic
schistosomiasis mansoni, refractory ascites and portal vein thrombosis treated
with a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), at the Instituto de
Radiologia, Hospital das Clinicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Sao
Paulo, Brazil. After the procedure, the patient recovered favorably and
progressed with portal pressure reduction and no deterioration of the liver
function. Endovascular shunt modification is a conservative medical approach
that often helps in reducing symptoms significantly, making it a less invasive
and a safer alternative to liver transplantation for the treatment of
schistosomiasis with portal hypertension.
