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.

Optimising Radiation Dose Estimation: UNSCEAR DAP‐to‐ED Conversion in Uterine Artery Embolisation

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study uses the conversion factors from the ‘UNSCEAR Global Survey on Medical Exposure: A User Manual’ to estimate radiation dose exposure for patients undergoing uterine artery embolisation. Estimating the effective dose provides interventional radiologists and interventional radiographers a better understanding of the stochastic risks associated ...

Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt: An Update

Interventional Radiology
It is more than 50 years since the concept of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) was first introduced as a percutaneous procedure for patients with refractory variceal bleeding and ascites. TIPS has become widely accepted in the management of complications of portal hypertension because it is less invasive than surgery.

Effects of Shunt Position on the Prognosis of Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt in Patients With Cirrhotic Esophagogastric Variceal Bleeding

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
The challenge of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) remains the puncture of the portal vein. Establishing an optimal shunt position in the left branch of the portal vein would be a better option for reducing the risk of postoperative hepatic encephalopathy and stent dysfunction.
