Successful treatment of recurrent hepatic encephalopathy with revision of transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunt and embolisation of splenorenal shunt

BMJ Case Reports, 2021
We present a case of 64-year-old US veteran who developed recurrent hepatic encephalopathy (HE) following transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunt (TIPSS) procedure. The patient had a history of metabolic syndrome and cirrhosis due to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

TIPS (transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunt) for the surgeon

British Journal of Surgery, 1997
Transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunt (TIPS) is now considered as an option for the control of intractable variceal bleeding1. The high incidence of stenosis and occlusion (50 per cent significant stenosis at 6 months2) favours its use as a bridge to more definitive therapy such as surgical shunting or orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT ...

Improvement of hepatopulmonary syndrome after transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunting: Case report and review of literature

Pediatric Transplantation, 2003
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.

The use and misuse of transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunts

Current Gastroenterology Reports, 2000
Transjugular 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.

Surgical Shunting versus Transjugular Intrahepatic Portasystemic Shunting for Bleeding Varices Resulting from Portal Hypertension and Cirrhosis: A Meta-Analysis

The American Surgeon™, 2010
Surgical shunting was the mainstay in treating portal hypertension for years. Recently, trans-jugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunting (TIPS) has replaced surgical shunting, first as a “bridge” to transplantation and ultimately as first-line therapy for bleeding varices.

Effects of transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunt (TIPS) on splanchnic and systemic hemodynamics, and hepatic function in patients with portal hypertension

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 1995
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term splanchnic and systemic hemodynamics and hepatic function after TIPS creation. Fifteen cirrhotics with portal hypertension underwent TIPS placement for treatment of variceal hemorrhage, and extensive hemodynamic studies including right heart catheterization, portal pressure measurement, hepatic ...

[Transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunt (TIPS). Role of ultrasonographic methods].

La Radiologia medica, 1994
The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a new interventional radiology procedure which may be assisted by modern ultrasound techniques (US). Color-Doppler US can be used for patients selection, during TIPS and in the follow-up.
