Core Tip	Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) may cause gastrointestinal bleeding. Antrectomy should be considered in refractory cases. In the event of an associated cirrhosis and portal hypertension, decision of surgery must be pondered given a higher risk. We report the case of a refractory GAVE, in a cirrhotic patient with ascites. A transjugular intrahepatic porto?systemic shunt procedure was performed, allowing complete ascites regression. The surgery was then juged to be less risky. An antrectomy was thus performed, with favorable outcome. Antrectomy may be an option in refractory GAVE, in this setting, provided liver function is sufficient and cirrhosis is compensated.
