Abstract
Hemorrhage from esophageal varices is an infrequent occurrence after a portacaval anastomosis. A stenotic portacaval anastomosis resulted in persistent portal hypertension and variceal hemorrhage. Treatment by transluminal balloon dilatation of the stenotic shunt resolved the hemodynamic abnormality as demonstrated by angiographic and hemodynamic techniques.Keywords
