TRANSJUGULAR INTRAHEPATIC PORTASYSTEMIC STENT SHUNT [PDF]
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt (TIPSS) is a new non-surgical method of creating a portasystemic communication [1]. It is yet another innovative technique for the prevention of bleeding from oesophageal varices in patients of portal hypertension.

Introduction: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an effective way to improve portal hypertension, however, the role of anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy following TIPS remains controversial.

Emergency transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic stent shunting as salvage treatment for uncontrolled variceal bleeding [PDF]
Abstract Creation of a transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic stent shunt (TIPSS) was used as a rescue treatment for patients with variceal bleeding refractory to standard medical and endoscopic treatment. Over a 2-year period 242 episodes of variceal bleeding were treated and emergency shunting was performed on 20 patients with ...

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

Development of pseudointima and stenosis after transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunts: Characterization of cell phenotype and function [PDF]
The clinical utility of transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunts (TIPS) is frequently complicated by the ingrowth of tissue into the stent lumen, causing stent stenosis. These studies were undertaken to define the cellular and matrix components of the pseudointima, define the phenotype and function of the mesenchymal ...

Endothelial Cells Lining Transjugular Intrahepatic Portasystemic Shunts Originate in Hepatic Sinusoids: Implications for Pseudointimal Hyperplasia [PDF]
The phenotype of the endothelial cells (ECs) in the pseudointima of transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunts (TIPS) and the mechanisms of pseudointima formation after TIPS were unknown. We hypothesized that TIPS were lined by hepatic sinusoidal ECs, which stimulated the migration of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) into the ...

Transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic stent—shunt in the treatment of variceal haemorrhage
Abstract The transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic stent-shunt (TIPSS) is a side-to-side portocaval shunt, performed by interventional radiological methods, linking the hepatic and portal veins through the liver parenchyma with an expandable metal stent. The technique can be performed successfully in over 90 per cent of patients.
