Abstract

During a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure, a Strecker stent was accidently pushed into the superior mesenteric vein. After successful shunt placement, the stent was withdrawn into the hepatic vein. A multipurpose basket catheter was attached to the distal end of the stent and a loop snare to the proximal end. In this way it was possible to stretch the stent and retrieve it percutaneously through the jugular sheath.
