“…The second one is associated with complete situs viscerum inversus and enters directly in the morphologic right atrium lying on the left side. Successful TIPS placement has been described in both type of the LSVC (1,3). Between September 1992 and August 2009 we found 3 cases of the SVC anomalies in our group of 815 patients (0.4 %) who underwent TIPS placement.…”

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt is a minimally invasive endovascular procedure that has played an important role in the treatment of acute or repeated variceal bleeding or refractory ascites. The standard venous access route for this procedure is the right jugular vein. Sometimes it is better to use the left jugular vein because of lower probability of life threatening complication or technical failure. In this case reports the authors have described their experience with TIPS creation in two patients with persistent left and absent right superior vena cava and recommend using the left jugular vein as an access route in this rare anatomical variant.

“…[7] So far, only a few cases of successful TIPS placement in aberrant anatomy through LSVC approach have been reported. [4,5,8,9] We used the left jugular vein and LSVC approach and ultrasound guidance to access the portal venous system. Two cases of TIPS creation in situs inversus totalis have been reported till date.…”
