(a) Transhepatic direct portography confirms the moderate focal stenosis (arrow), potentially associated with focal, intimal dissection. Note also the large fundal varices (arrowheads) originating proximally to the stenosis. (b) After stent placement (arrows) there is restored flow in the portal venous system without opacification of any variceal collaterals. The stent is bridging the thin left portal vein

Additionally very large gastric and esophageal variceal collaterals were also clearly visible (Fig. 1a). Completion venography confirmed the correct appositioning and expansion of the stent and absence of any collateral flow (Fig. 1b).
