Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt placement and embolization for hemorrhage associated with rupture of anorectal varices

Journal of International Medical Research, 2018
Portal hypertension can lead to ectopic varices, which occur most frequently in the rectum. Rectal variceal bleeding in patients with portal hypertension is rare but can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner.

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

Insights 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 ...

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

Radiology 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.

Health disparities in chronic liver disease

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
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.

Janus kinase 2 inhibition by pacritinib as potential therapeutic target for liver fibrosis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Diagram of the activation of the profibrotic and procontractile Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/Ras homolog family member A/Rho‐kinase pathway and the inhibition of phosphorylated JAK2 by pacritinib to inhibit hepatic stellate cell activity. Abstract Background and Aims Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signaling is increased in human and experimental liver fibrosis with ...

Improved quality of life in patients with refractory or recidivant ascites after insertion of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts [PDF]

, 2002
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.

Balloon-occluded antegrade transvenous obliteration via transjugular intrahepatic access for bleeding rectal varices

Radiology Case Reports, 2019
Bleeding rectal varices in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension can be difficult to treat endoscopically or surgically. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt creation offers a minimally invasive method to effectively decompress the portal ...
