Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) should be considered in all liver transplant candidates, besides being a life-saving procedure in bleeding from esophageal or gastric varices. In this case, we describe the management of a patient with diagnosis of coronavirus (COVID-19) with variceal bleeding in an emergency situation with worsening of pulmonary function.
