    However, unwanted complications are to be accounted for, as these patients typically present with decompensated liver failure, bleeding diathesis and risk suffering from serious life threatening intra-peritoneal bleeding [4]. Previously a retrograde hepatic vein angioplasty using a similar collateral loop-guided approach was reported, passing a guide wire through the caudate lobe, through intrahepatic collaterals, and out through another main hepatic vein in the same lobe, establishing an “intra-hepatic loop” [5]. TIPS remains an adequate alternative treatment to Chiari Syndrome.
