Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt
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 ...

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.

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

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
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.
