Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt [PDF]
The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a percutaneous procedure designed to decompress the portal system in patients with portal hypertension. TIPS is indicated as prophylaxis for recurrent variceal bleeding, refractory active variceal bleeding, and refractory ascites or hepatic hydrothorax.

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

Targeted decrease of portal hepatic pressure gradient improves ascites control after TIPS
The river diagram demonstrates that after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt insertion (TIPS) the majority of patients without ascites and 50% of the patients with ascites detectable at ultrasound, show the best response in the long term follow‐up.

Background: Hepatic encephalopathy, which is a serious complication, and sarcopenia are undesirable consequences in cirrhosis. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt increases the risk of hepatic encephalopathy.

Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt [PDF]
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an established procedure for the complications of portal hypertension. The largest body of evidence for its use has been supported for recurrent or refractory variceal bleeding and refractory ascites.

Health disparities in chronic liver disease
Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.
