Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPSS) for Budd Chiari syndrome.
We report a four year old boy who presented with liver failure secondary to anti-thrombin III deficiency related Budd Chiari syndrome. He was treated with TIPSS (transjugular intrahepatic porto systemic shunt) which reversed the encephalopathy, normalised the liver function and improved growth, pre-empting the need for a liver transplantation. This is the first reported case of TIPSS in a child...
متن کاملTransjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.
The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an interventional treatment resulting in decompression of the portal system by creation of a side-to-side portosystemic anastomosis. Since its introduction 16 years ago, more than 1,000 publications have appeared demonstrating broad acceptance and increasing clinical use.

متن کاملShort outcome comparison of elderly patients versus nonelderly patients treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt
A transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt (TIPSS) has been widely used to treat portal hypertension and its complications. However, no established guidelines mentioned whether age was a risk factor for the treatment of TIPSS.The aim is to determine whether age is a risk factor for poor outcomes following TIPSS.The retrospective cohort study included 134 patients who received TIPSS t...
متن کاملTransjugular Intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIps)
459 Most of the morbidity associated with chronic liver disease results from the development of portal hypertension and its sequelae. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a minimally invasive method of creating a portosystemic shunt that can effectively decompress the hypertensive portal circulation and treat its complications. Introduced more than a decade ago, the procedure...
متن کاملTransjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS)
Surgery for portal hypertension began in 1877, with Nicolai Vladirmirovich who performed the fi rst portacaval anastomosis. There was little clinical success until Blakemore and Whipple between the 1920’s and 1940’s: the mortality rate ranged from 25-40%. Hepatic encephalopathy was a clinical problem. In 1960, Warren and collegues performed a distal splenorenal shunt, which reduced the incidenc...
