Core Tip This study reports on two patients with esophageal and gastric varices, the successful placement of covered and bare stents through this rare caudate lobe vein (CLPV), and the establishment of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) channel. During follow-up, portal vein pressure significantly decreased, with no obvious complications observed. This study demonstrates that due to anatomical variations, performing TIPS through CLPV is a feasible method.
