Research Communication: The Cumulated Spontaneous Portosystemic Shunts (SPSS) Area Decreases After TIPS and Impacts on Prognosis

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 63, Issue 3, Page 419-423, February 2026.
This study shows that both the total SPSS area and the cumulative SPSS diameter decrease significantly and persistently after TIPS placement, whereas the total shunt diameter increases slightly and the total shunt area remains stable. The relative change in SPSS area serves as an independent predictor of mortality. ABSTRACT We evaluated the dynamics of

Spondylodiscitis associated with recurrent Serratia bacteremia due to a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS): a case report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We report a case of spondylodiscitis caused by multiresistant Serratia marcescens in a cirrhotic patient who had several Serratia bacteremias after the placement of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) device.

Alterations in Gut Microbiota and Metabolism in Cirrhotic Portal Hypertension: Implications for Disease Progression

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 538-556, February 2026.
In‐depth multiomics analyses revealed that the gut microbiota in patients with CPH is dysbiotic. Altered gut microbiota plays an important role in the progression of CPH and affects the host's arginine metabolism to promote arginine biosynthesis. The pro‐inflammatory effects of certain gut bacteria induce iNOS expression, which together act on the ...

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for esophagojejunal variceal bleeding after total gastrectomy: A case report

open access: yesRadiology Case Reports
Esophagojejunal varices occurring after total gastrectomy are rare but potentially fatal in cases of variceal bleeding. Owing to their rarity, treatment strategies for this condition are not well established.

A new and improved transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) stent graft: Controlled expansion

open access: yesGastrointestinal Intervention, 2018
Initial underdilation of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) stents has been a widely proposed and commonly practiced technique to balance portal hypertension relief and the adverse effects associated with excess shunting, especially ...

Peristomal variceal hemorrhage at the ileal conduit site due to extrahepatic portosystemic shunt

open access: yesIndian Journal of Urology, 2020
Peristomal variceal bleeding is a rare but known complication with portal hypertension. In patients with recurrent peristomal hemorrhage, atypical varices should be considered, and liver cirrhosis should be excluded even with normal liver function tests.

Role of manganese in the pathogenesis of portal-systemic encephalopathy

open access: yes, 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 ...

GDF‐15 Levels in Cirrhosis Are Linked to Hepatic Fibrogenesis, Bacterial Translocation, and Worse Clinical Outcomes

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background &Aims Growth differentiation factor‐15 (GDF‐15), a cell stress‐induced cytokine, is implicated in liver disease pathophysiology. We investigated GDF‐15 in cirrhosis, focusing on its association with disease‐driving pathomechanisms, platelet function, hepatic decompensation, and mortality.

Long-term patency and clinical outcome of the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt using the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene stent-graft

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Background Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation is an established treatment option to management the complications of portal hypertension. Recent data on the long-term outcomes of TIPS are scarce.

Shunt dysfunction and mortality after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in patients with portal hypertension

open access: yesInsights into Imaging
Objectives Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a catheter-based, minimally invasive procedure to reduce portal hypertension. The aim of the study was to investigate dysfunction and mortality after TIPS and to identify factors ...
