Anesthetic management of children with medically refractory pulmonary hypertension undergoing surgical Potts shunt [PDF]
Pediatric Anesthesia, 2023 AbstractIntroductionPulmonary hypertension in children is associated with high rates of adverse events under anesthesia. In children who have failed medical therapy, a posttricuspid shunt such as a Potts shunt can offload the right ventricle and possibly delay or replace the need for lung transplantation.

Embolization of portosystemic shunts for treatment of medically refractory hepatic encephalopathy [PDF]
Liver Transplantation, 2016 Treatment options for refractory hepatic encephalopathy (HE) are limited. Patients who fail medical management may harbor large portosystemic shunts (PSSs) which are possible therapeutic targets. This study aims to describe patient selection, effectiveness, and safety of percutaneous PSS embolization in those with medically refractory HE.

Quality of Life in Refractory Ascites: Transjugular Intrahepatic Portal-Systemic Shunting Versus Medical Therapy * [PDF]
Hepatology, 2005 Abstract Uncontrolled studies suggest that transjugular intrahepatic portal-systemic shunting (TIPS) may improve quality of life in patients with refractory ascites. We hypothesized that any improvement of quality of life in patients with TIPS would be matched in controls due to the competing ...

Proceedings of IMPRS, 2021 Background: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an established intervention for symptomatic portal hypertension. Following TIPS creation, 22-50% of patients experience hepatic encephalopathy (HE), with symptoms ranging from mild confusion to coma. While HE can be medically managed, refractory cases may require downsizing of the TIPS

Meaningful use: an electronic medical record tool for cerebrospinal fluid shunt history [PDF]
Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, 2017 The care of patients with shunted hydrocephalus can be complicated. The best assessment is provided when all data are available to the neurosurgery practitioner. However, data can be time-consuming to gather, especially in the setting of a busy practice, a trainee environment with duty-hour restrictions, and an electronic medical record (EMR) not ...
