Emergency Portasystemic Shunting in Cirrhotics With Bleeding Varices — A Comparison of Portacaval and Mesocaval Shunts [PDF]
, 1989 Despite the best conservative measures available for the control of major variceal hemorrhage, some patients either continue to bleed, or rebleed early, and require emergency surgery.

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 ...

Electroelastic metasurface with resonant piezoelectric shunts for tunable wavefront control [PDF]
, 2022 This study presents a tunable phase-modulated metasurface composed of periodically distributed piezoelectric patches with resonant-type shunt circuits. The fully coupled electromechanical model is established to study the transmission characteristics of the metasurface unit and validated through numerical and experimental studies. Based on the analysis

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 ...

Characterization of a Superconducting Microstrip Single-Photon Detector Shunted with an External Resistor [PDF]
, 2023 A superconducting microstrip single-photon detector (SMSPD) generally requires a shunt resistor to avoid latching, caused by its high current-carrying capacity and low kinetic inductance. Here, the effect of the shunt resistor on the behaviors of microbridge SMSPDs was investigated.

Automating Vascular Shunt Insertion with the dVRK Surgical Robot [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Vascular shunt insertion is a fundamental surgical procedure used to temporarily restore blood flow to tissues. It is often performed in the field after major trauma. We formulate a problem of automated vascular shunt insertion and propose a pipeline to perform Automated Vascular Shunt Insertion (AVSI) using a da Vinci Research Kit. The pipeline uses a

Computer simulation of surgical interventions for the treatment of refractory pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 This paper describes computer models of three interventions used for treating refractory pulmonary hypertension (RPH). These procedures create either an atrial septal defect, a ventricular septal defect, or, in the case of a Potts shunt, a patent ductus arteriosus.

Primary prevention and management of variceal bleeding: Review of Historical Evidence [PDF]
, 2008 Background: Prevention and control of active bleeding caused by portal hypertension is still a challenge. Surgery used to be the only option in the earlier days, but now many options exist.
