Abstract
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) are used to manage multiple complications of portal hypertension. Accounts of infection of TIPS stents are uncommon. The literature reports two cases of TIPS-associated Torulopsis glabrata (Candida glabrata) fungemia; both patients died within a year of TIPS placement despite therapy with intravenous antifungal agents. This report describes the successful long-term survival of a patient with Torulopsis TIPS stent infection.
