Emergency transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic stent shunting as salvage treatment for uncontrolled variceal bleeding

Journal of British Surgery, 1994
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 ...

Aromatic Amino Acid Metabolism during Liver Failure

, 2007
Liver failure is associated with hepatic encephalopathy (HE). An imbalance in plasma levels of aromatic amino acids (AAA) phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan and branched chain amino acids (BCAA) and their BCAA/AAA ratio has been suggested to play a ...

The kidney plays a major role in the hyperammonemia seen after simulated or actual GI bleeding in patients with cirrhosis

, 2003
Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding in cirrhosis is associated with enhanced ammoniagenesis, the site of which is thought to be the colon. The aims of this study were to evaluate interorgan metabolism of ammonia following an UGI bleed in patients with ...

Prosthetic H-Graft Portacaval Shunts vs Transjugular Intrahepatic Portasystemic Stent Shunts: 18-Year Follow-Up of a Randomized Trial

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2012
Widespread application of transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunt (TIPS) continues despite the lack of trials documenting efficacy superior to surgical shunting. Here we present an 18-year follow-up of a prospective randomized trial comparing TIPS with small-diameter prosthetic H-graft portacaval shunt (HGPCS) for portal decompression.Beginning ...

Differential Effects on Portal and Effective Hepatic Blood Flow

Annals of Surgery, 1997
This study was undertaken to determine the effects of transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunt (TIPS) and small-diameter prosthetic H-graft portacaval shunt (HGPCS) on portal and effective hepatic blood flow.Mortality after TIPS is higher than after HGPCS for bleeding varices.

TIPS for refractory ascites: neither hemlock nor panacea. The Montreal experience and review of the literature.

, 1996
Refractory ascites worsens the end-stage course of decompensated cirrhosis. Transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunt (TIPS) has been proposed to treat this condition with erratic success, inducing controversial reports on the risk-benefit ratio ...
