Three‐Dimensional Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Geometry Predicts Shunt Dysfunction [PDF]
Regarding the role of 3D TIPS geometry in predicting TIPS dysfunction, this study identified a larger distance of the cranial stent end from the inferior vena cava and a larger stent curvature as predictors of dysfunction. Therefore, a less curved, more central TIPS is recommended to reduce the risk of dysfunction ABSTRACT Background Patients with ...

Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Combined With Concurrent Antegrade Embolization of Large Spontaneous Portosystemic Shunts [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives To compare the long‐term efficacy and safety of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) combined with concurrent antegrade embolization in treating portal hypertension with oesophagogastric variceal bleeding in patients with and without large spontaneous portosystemic shunts (L‐SPSSs).

No effect of albumin infusion on the prevention of hepatic encephalopathy after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt [PDF]
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a major problem in patients submitted to TIPS. Previous studies identified low albumin as a factor associated to post-TIPS HE.

Comparison of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt with covered stent and balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration in managing isolated gastric varices [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Although a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is commonly placed to manage isolated gastric varices, balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) has also been used. We compare the long-term outcomes from these

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.

Improved quality of life in patients with refractory or recidivant ascites after insertion of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts [PDF]
Background. We have recently shown that the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is more effective than paracentesis in the treatment of cirrhotic patients with severe ascites and can prolong survival in selected patients.

Indwelling Pleural Catheters in Hepatic Hydrothorax: A Single-Center Series of Outcomes and Complications [PDF]
Background Treatment of hepatic hydrothorax (HH) generally involves sodium restriction, diuretics, and serial thoracentesis. In more advanced cases, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and liver transplantation may be required.
