Differential Effects on Portal and Effective Hepatic Blood Flow
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.

[Transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunt. A new therapeutic method in portal hypertension].
Over the last three years, 53 patients underwent transjugular portosystemic shunting (TIPS). 49 patients were treated successfully (92.5%). Procedure-related morbidity (intention to treat) was seen in 11 patients (20.8%): encephalopathy (n = 5), sepsis (n = 3), right heart failure (n = 2) and progressive liver failure (n = 1). 30-day mortality rate was
