Transjugular Intrahepatic Portasystemic Shunt vs Surgical Shunt in Good-Risk Cirrhotic Patients [PDF]

Archives of Surgery, 2001
In good-risk patients with variceal bleeding undergoing portal decompression, surgical shunt is more effective, more durable, and less costly than angiographic shunt (transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunt [TIPS]).Retrospective case-control study.Academic referral center for liver disease.Patients with Child-Pugh class A or B cirrhosis with at ...

Outcomes of surgical shunts and transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic stent shunts for complicated portal hypertension

British Journal of Surgery, 2017
Abstract Background Transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic stent shunt (TIPSS), instead of surgical shunt, has become the standard treatment for patients with complicated portal hypertension. This study compared outcomes in patients who underwent TIPSS or surgical shunting for complicated portal ...

Surgical Shunting versus Transjugular Intrahepatic Portasystemic Shunting for Bleeding Varices Resulting from Portal Hypertension and Cirrhosis: A Meta-Analysis

The American Surgeon™, 2010
Surgical shunting was the mainstay in treating portal hypertension for years. Recently, trans-jugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunting (TIPS) has replaced surgical shunting, first as a “bridge” to transplantation and ultimately as first-line therapy for bleeding varices.

Demonstration of Surgical Portasystemic Venous Shunts by Scintisplenoportography*

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Medicine, 1977
Scintisplenoportography (SSP) was used to assess shunt patency in 15 patients with surgically created portasystemic venous shunts and proved to be a simple, safe and accurate technique for demonstrating the patency of both mesocaval "H" grafts and distal lienorenal shunts.

Liver transplantation in patients with a surgical portasystemic shunt.

Gastroenterologie clinique et biologique, 1992
Of 220 patients undergoing liver transplantation between March 1982 and April 1991, eighteen (8.1 percent) already had a surgical portasystemic shunt. Four patients had a distal splenorenal shunt, six a side-to-side portacaval shunt, three an end-to-side portacaval shunt, and five, a mesocaval shunt. The splanchnic venous system was assessed by Doppler

[Liver transplantation after surgical shunt or transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunt].

Der Radiologe, 1994
The goal of this study was to assess the influence of prior treatment of bleeding esophageal varices on liver transplantation. After sclerotherapy the results of liver transplantation were identical to those achieved in patients without previous variceal hemorrhage (74% 1-year survival).
