The use and misuse of transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunts
Current Gastroenterology Reports, 2000Transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunts, or TIPS, are used to create a low-resistance channel between the hepatic vein and the intrahepatic portion of the portal vein by deployment of an expandable metal stent. TIPS function like side-to-side surgical portacaval shunts, but their placement does not require anesthesia and major surgery.

Abstract: The hepatopulmonary syndrome has been described in as many as 5–29% of patients with liver disease. Patients with this syndrome may suffer from chronic hypoxemia, and mortality rates of liver patients with this syndrome are as high as 41%. Early diagnosis of such patients is essential.

Successful completion of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stentshunt (TIPSS) relies on knowledge of the individual hepatic vascular anatomy. The patients referred for TIPSS have an increased risk of contrast-medium-induced renal failure, and therefore the potential for a complete angiographic work-up during the procedure is limited.

[Transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunt and liver transplantation].
Annales de radiologie, 1995From the first one hundred consecutive patients treated by transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), 12 subsequently underwent liver transplantation (a mean of 103 +/- 109 days after TIPS). Fourteen TIPS were created in 12 patients, with advanced cirrhosis (Child B = 5, C = 7) and portal hypertension.
