Core Tip	We present the first successful hybrid intervention used to treat a portal cavernoma causing recurrent bleeding in a young girl: one step mini­laparotomy-assisted transmesenteric anterograde portal recanalization and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). The combined approach allows direct varices embolization, restores hepatopetal portal flow, in turn preserving the portal stent graft patency by means of the TIPS placement. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can be utilized to avoid or delay surgical treatment or transplantation.
