We report a case of recurrent digestive haemorrhage due to bleeding ectopic jejunal varices complicating portal hypertension in a 51-year-old cirrhotic patient, treated 1 year ago by transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt (TIPS) for the same problem. Successful embolisation with coils, of ectopic varices, was performed using original transjugular and trans-TIPS route, without complication, and no recurrence during a follow-up of 24 months.
