- Abstract: Cavernous transformation of the portal vein （CTPV） is a significant challenge in clinical practice. In recent years， transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt has gradually been applied in the treatment of CTPV patients， but it had a technical success rate and a relatively high surgical risk. The scholars have adopted various modified techniques of portosystemic shunt to improve success rate and safety. However， for CTPV patients with extensive occlusion of the main portal vein， this surgery remains difficult， and individualized strategies for portosystemic shunt should be formulated. This article reports a case of CTPV treated by transjugular extrahepatic portosystemic shunt assisted by endoscopic ultrasound-guided portal vein localization， in order to explore a new pathway for the clinical management of patients with CTPV.
