Core Tip Cirrhotic patients who have recurrent variceal hemorrhage despite medical and endoscopic therapy have limited options if they are not transjugular intrahe-patic portosystemic shunting candidates. One promising new method to decrease portal pressures while avoiding surgical shunt placement is mesocaval shunt placement with fluoroscopic guidance. In this paper we review the technique, candidate selection, potential pitfalls and benefits of mesocaval shunt placement.
