Life‐threatening airway obstruction due to retropharyngeal and cervicomediastinal hematomas following transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedure for acute variceal bleeding in cirrhosis.

Clinical Case Reports, 2023
We report a case of life‐threatening airway obstruction due to retropharyngeal‐cervicomediastinal hematomas following transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt or acute variceal bleeding in cirrhosis.

Emerging Trends in Patients Hospitalised With Cirrhosis—Aetiologies, Complications and Outcomes Compared to Other Chronic Health Conditions

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Rates of inpatient mortality and complication rates in cirrhosis remain high. With regard to inpatient outcomes, cirrhosis is falling behind other chronic health conditions. ABSTRACT Background The aetiologies, complications and overall burden of cirrhosis have undergone changes in recent years.

Endovascular Management of Hepatic Encephalopathy

Journal of Clinical Interventional Radiology ISVIR, 2021
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) and spontaneous portosystemic shunts (SPSS) may lead to new or worsening hepatic encephalopathy (HE), especially in patients with chronic liver disease.

TIPS and HCC: friends or foes ? [PDF]

, 2016
Portal hypertension and hepatocellular carcinoma [HCC] are major complications of liver cirrhosis and may coexist in the same patient. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt [TIPS] is an effective treatment for recurrent variceal bleeding

Imaging-guided interventions modulating portal venous flow: Evidence and controversies [PDF]

, 2022
Portal hypertension is defined by an increase in the portosystemic venous gradient. In most cases, increased resistance to portal blood flow is the initial cause of elevated portal pressure.

Refining Prognosis in Cirrhosis Patients With Ascites: Impact of Acute vs. Non‐Acute Decompensation

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The novel classification of acute and non‐acute decompensation provides prognostic information, but the role of hospitalisation status should be reconsidered. ABSTRACT Background A more granular understanding of hepatic decompensation in cirrhosis has led to the classification of acute decompensation (AD) and non‐acute decompensation (NAD).

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.

Impact of Frailty on the Prognosis of Patients With Liver Cirrhosis Undergoing Insertion of a TIPS

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In patients with cirrhosis undergoing TIPS, frailty—measured by the Liver Frailty Index—improved in those with poor baseline status; therefore, high frailty should not be seen as a contraindication to elective TIPS. Additionally, LFI assessment before TIPS enables identification of patients with excellent survival prognosis.

Expanding Indications of TIPS in the Management of Portal Hypertension Complications

Journal of Clinical Interventional Radiology ISVIR, 2023
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a nonsurgical intervention to reduce portal pressure by creating a low-resistance channel between the portal and systemic circulations.
