TIPS Versus Peritoneovenous Shunt in the Treatment of Medically Intractable Ascites

Annals of Surgery, 2004
We undertook a prospective randomized clinical trial comparing TIPS to peritoneovenous (PV) shunts in the treatment of medically intractable ascites to establish relative efficacy and morbidity, and thereby superiority, between these shunts.Thirty-two patients were prospectively randomized to undergo TIPS or peritoneovenous (Denver) shunts.

Ductus venosus shunting in the fetal venous circulation: regulatory mechanisms, diagnostic methods and medical importance [PDF]

Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2006
AbstractThe fetal liver is located at the crossroads of the umbilical venous circulation. Anatomically, the ductus venosus (DV) and the intrahepatic branches of the portal vein are arranged in parallel. The actual DV shunting rate, i.e. the percentage of umbilical blood flow entering the DV measured by Doppler velocimetry, seems to be lower than that ...

Ventriculoamniotic Shunt for Treatment of Hydrocephalus in One of Twins: Medical, Ethical and Legal Considerations

Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy, 1990
One of a pair of preterm twin fetuses was identified as having progressive hydrocephalus. After an extensive evaluation of the parents and both fetuses, a ventriculoamniotic shunt was placed. The affected twin, despite multiple additional neonatal procedures, has done well as matched against her normal twin sister.
