Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: Where are we?

The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology, 2014
Background/Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the technical/hemodynamic success, complications, and biochemical/ hematologic consequences of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) created with 10-mm bare stents in our patients.

Role of manganese in the pathogenesis of portal-systemic encephalopathy

, 1998
Amongst the potential neurotoxins implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy, manganese emerges as a new candidate. In patients with chronic liver diseases, manganese accumulates in blood and brain leading to pallidal signal hyperintensity ...

Portal vein velocity and its dynamics: a potentially useful tool for detecting clinically silent transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt dysfunction using Doppler ultrasonography

Ultrasound International Open
Background  Ultrasound (US) surveillance for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) dysfunction has yet to be standardized, as clear-cut criteria have not been conventionally defined.

Manganese deposition in basal ganglia structures results from both portal-systemic shunting and liver dysfunction

, 1999
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Manganese (Mn) deposition could be responsible for the T(1)-weighted magnetic resonance signal hyperintensities observed in cirrhotic patients.
