Effect of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt on transarterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
PURPOSEHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) usually occurs accompanied by portal hypertension. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is recommended as an effective treatment in HCC.

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 ...

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 ...

The gut–liver axis is discussed to play an important role in hepatic cirrhosis. Decompensated liver cirrhosis is often associated with portal hypertension, which can lead to a variety of complications. The application of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an established treatment option for the complications of portal hypertension.

Duodenal variceal bleeding with large SPSS treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and embolization: A case report [PDF]
Background: Duodenal variceal bleeding is a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. The most common site is the duodenal bulb. It is usually detected endoscopically but it can be very challenging to diagnose if it is located distal to the second part of
