DIPSS has become a widely accepted treatment for complications of portal hypertension. Shunt or hepatic vein stenosis are common short and mid term complications of the procedure. When identified early, shunt stenosis or occlusion may be treated before recurrence of the symptoms for which DIPSS was done at the first place. Present day endovascular DIPSS revision techniques have significantly improved the primary assisted patency rates. The purpose of this study is to understand the newer technique of Combined balloon occlusion thrombolysis and intra stent balloon sweeping being practiced at our institute and compare it with the widely used conventional thrombolytic methods.
