Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt

open access: yesGastrointestinal Endoscopy, 1993
The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a relatively new method of creating a portosystemic shunt using a needle, angioplasty balloon catheters and expandable metallic stents. During a 6-month period, the authors have performed TIPS, using the spiral Z-stent--another modification of the Gianturco-Rósch stent--in 13 patients with ...

Sarcopenia Is Associated With Mortality and Progression of Cirrhosis in Decompensated but Not Compensated Disease—A Multicentre Study

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 64, Issue 1, Page 36-49, July 2026.
In a retrospective cohort of 1,624 adults with cirrhosis, sarcopenia was independently associated with unplanned hospitalization, death, and cirrhosis progression (or death) in patients with decompensated disease. In compensated cirrhosis, sarcopenia was associated only with a higher risk of unplanned hospitalization.

Pre‐TIPS Liver and Spleen Volumetry Are Not Associated With Liver‐Related Outcomes After TIPS Placement for Refractory Ascites

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background & Aims Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) improves survival in refractory ascites. A careful patient's selection is mandatory as TIPS can lead to complications. Liver volumetry is predictive of outcomes before hepatic surgery, but data on its role before TIPS placement are scarce. We aimed to evaluate whether liver

Sarcopenia Predicts Mortality and Hepatic Encephalopathy After TIPS in Older Adults With Cirrhosis and Improves Prognostic Scores

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The role of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in older adults remains controversial because of limited risk‐stratification tools. We aimed to assess whether sarcopenia and myosteatosis are independently associated with post‐TIPS mortality and overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE) in patients aged ≥ 70 years,

Post‐TIPS Dynamics of von Willebrand Factor for Risk Stratification After TIPS Placement

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background & Aims Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement is used to treat complications of portal hypertension. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of von Willebrand factor antigen (VWF) dynamics following TIPS placement.

Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) Extension for Transhepatic Mesocaval Shunt Creation: A Case Series for Treating Refractory Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Patients with Chronic Portal Vein Thrombosis

open access: yesIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is known to benefit patients with decompensated liver disease by alleviating portal pressure. However, TIPS creation is technically difficult and challenging to perform in patients with chronic portal ...
