Portosystemic shunt without surgery [PDF]
Objective. - To determine the effectiveness of the Palmaz balloon expandable stent for the creation of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. The device is designed to achieve portal decompression in patients with variceal hemorrhage secondary to portal hypertension. Design.

Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt [PDF]
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) insertion is among the most technically challenging procedures in interventional radiology. It combines many of the skills used in other procedures such as venous access, biopsy, angioplasty, and stent-graft insertion into one IR tour de force.

Lipopolysaccharide and toll-like receptor 4 in dogs with congenital portosystemic shunts [PDF]
Surgical attenuation of a congenital portosystemic shunt (CPSS) results in increased portal vein perfusion, liver growth and clinical improvement. Portal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is implicated in liver regeneration via toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 mediated
