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.

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 ...

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.

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.

Plasma Ammonia Levels Predict Hepatic Encephalopathy After Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Placement

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Placement of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an effective treatment for portal hypertension. Overt hepatic encephalopathy (oHE) is a complication after TIPS associated with increased morbidity. Elevated ratio of plasma ammonia (AMM) levels compared to the local upper limit of normal (ULN) has been ...

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.
