The patient had a history of metabolic syndrome and cirrhosis due to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. He had undergone sleeve gastrectomy 1\u2009year earlier with preoperative TIPSS placement. He developed recurrent symptoms of HE despite optimising his medications, resulting in poor quality of life and multiple hospitalisations. A liver Doppler ultrasound and CT scan of the abdomen was obtained which showed a patent TIPSS and a prominent shunt between the splenic vein and left renal vein via the left gonadal vein. This was treated with reduction of TIPSS, by placement of a covered stent in an hourglass configuration within the existing TIPSS stent and simultaneous embolisation of the splenorenal shunt by interventional radiology. The patient had complete resolution of symptoms following the procedure without any recurrence of HE.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2021-242368","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,24]],"date-time":"2021-06-24T12:20:57Z","timestamp":1624537257000},"page":"e242368","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Successful
