Segmental Liver Ischemia/Infarction after Elective Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Creation: Clinical Outcomes in 10 Patients

Segmental ischemia was associated with thrombosis of major branches of the PVs and often of the hepatic veins. Clinical outcomes varied significantly, from transient problems to acute liver failure with high mortality rates.
