Transjugular intrahepatic portosys­temic shunt is an alternative therapeutic approach in the treatment of portal hypertension and its complications. Two cases with implant­ed transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt are described. Doppler ultrasonography and color-power-angio imaging, a new imaging tech­nique, are effective, non-invasive methods for evaluating shunt function and should be con­sidered for use as the primary imaging technique in routine follow up after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement.
