Diabetes Mellitus is a Risk Factor for Hepatic Encephalopathy Following Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt. [PDF]

Aliment Pharmacol Ther
Diabetes mellitus independently increases the risk of hepatic encephalopathy following TIPS placement in patients with cirrhosis. These findings emphasize the need for careful risk assessment in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension complications undergoing TIPS.

Targeted decrease of portal hepatic pressure gradient improves ascites control after TIPS

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
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.

Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt [PDF]

, 2020
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]

, 2017
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

Sonographic evaluation of transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt

Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2013
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
