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 کاملComparative study of endoscopy vs. transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in the management of gastric variceal bleeding
BACKGROUND AND AIM Gastric varices are associated with high mortality. There have been conflicting reports on whether endoscopic treatment with cyanoacrylate or the placement of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is more effective in the treatment of gastric varices. We compared the outcomes of patients treated with cyanoacrylate glue or TIPS for the management of acute gast...

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and predictors of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) and endoscopic therapy (ET) in the elective treatment of recurrent variceal hemorrhage.

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...
