Sonographic evaluation of transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt
The purpose of this article is to review the role of sonography before, during and after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement. A sonographic assessment of the liver and abdomen is recommended before the procedure. We illustrate several

Outcomes of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt using 12 mm diameter polytetrafluoroethylene covered stents in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension [PDF]
PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 12 mm diameter polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered stents for the creation of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension complicated by ...

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.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunts. [PDF]
The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt (TIPSS) is essentially a side-to-side portocaval shunt performed by interventional radiological methods which connects the hepatic vein to the portal vein via the liver parenchyma. It can be performed successfully in 85% to 95% patients. The procedure mortality is low (1% to 2%) and is mainly from
