Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) are an accepted techniq ue for controlling the complications of portal hypertension. Although the incide nce of TIPS- associated bacteremia appears to be low (2% ), this complication has a high mortality. We report one case of recurrent enterococcal bacteremia as sociated with TIPS and regression of TIPS thrombus after antibiotherapy. The ant ibiotic regimen is similar to that given in bacterial endocardites.
