TRANSJUGULAR INTRAHEPATIC PORTOSYSTEMIC SHUNTS

Annual Review of Medicine, 1995
▪ Abstract  Management of bleeding esophageal varices due to portal hypertension has traditionally relied on endoscopic sclerotherapy and operative intervention with placement of a portosystemic shunt. Although percutaneous decompression of portal hypertension was investigated 25 years ago, it was not clinically feasible until recently.

Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Reductions

Seminars in Interventional Radiology, 2023
AbstractTransjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) are effective in reducing the portosystemic gradient and relieving complications of portal hypertension. Despite optimal patient selection, TIPS placement can be limited due to worsening hepatic encephalopathy and liver failure. In these cases, TIPS reduction may be necessary.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in an infant

Pediatric Radiology, 1997
A 15-month-old girl, who presented with biliary cirrhosis secondary to cystic fibrosis with refractory ascites and recurrent intestinal bleeding, underwent percutaneous transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting. Immediately following the procedure the ascites disappeared and no further bleeding occurred.

Hepatic Encephalopathy After Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt

Clinics in Liver Disease, 2012
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has been used for more than 20 years to treat some of the complications of portal hypertension. When TIPS was initially proposed, it was claimed that the optimal calibration of the shunt could allow an

The Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt: An Update

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2012
The purpose of this article is to review the indications, outcomes, complications, patient selection, and technical aspects of creating a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).The best available evidence supports the use of TIPS in secondary prevention of variceal bleeding and in refractory ascites, although TIPS is also commonly used ...

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts: an update

Liver Transplantation, 2003
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) have been used in the treatment of complications of portal hypertension. TIPS is used for the control of acute variceal bleeding and for the prevention of vericeal rebleeding when pharmacologic therapy and endoscopic therapy have failed.

Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt

Romanian journal of internal medicine = Revue roumaine de medecine interne, 1994
The prevention and therapy of upper digestive hemorrhage due to rupture of esophageal varices in patients with liver cirrhosis are not yet effective enough. For their improvement, a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is achieved by a new method which, without requiring general anesthesia, creates a shunt between a portal vein branch ...

The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt

Journal of Hepatology, 1996
D URMG TEE last 20 years improvement in endoscopic techniques have resulted in more than 90% success in the management of acute variceal bleeding. However, in the prevention of recurrence of variceal bleeding endoscopic treatment is of limited efficacy, with a l-year rebleeding rate’ of more than 40% (1).

Sonography of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 1995
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting (TIPS) is an effective procedure for relieving portal hypertension. Sonography can usefully assist portal vein puncture. Color and duplex sonography after TIPS demonstrates changes in hepatic vascular hemodynamics, detects complications, and confirms shunt patency.

Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt

Digestive Diseases, 2005
The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an interventional treatment resulting in decompression of the portal system by creation of a side-to-side portosystemic anastomosis. Since its introduction 16 years ago, more than 1,000 publications have appeared demonstrating broad acceptance and increasing clinical use.
