From the abstract
A 56-year-old female suffered from recurrent esophagogastric varices bleeding for 2 years due to cavernous transformation of the portal vein caused by hepatic hydatidosis. Multiple esophageal variceal ligations failed to prevent rebleeding. Transmesenteric vein extrahepatic portosystemic shunt was performed to decrease portal pressure gradient and prevent rebleeding.
