Fig. 2. (A) Digital subtraction portal venogram before transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) stent placement demonstrates duodenal varix (arrow) originating from the superior mesenteric vein and draining into the retroperitoneal veins and then inferior vena cava (not shown). There is a noted coronary varix (arrowhead). (B) Portal venogram after TIPS stent placement demonstrates substantially decreased contrast filling of duodenal varix (arrow), and the coronary varix is not seen but its orifice (arrowhead).
