Transjugular 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. This review summarizes our present knowledge about technical asp...
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...
متن کاملTransjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: where are we?
BACKGROUND/AIMS The purpose of this study was to evaluate the technical/hemodynamic success, complications, and biochemical/ hematologic consequences of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) created with 10-mm bare stents in our patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data of 27 cirrhotic patients (18 men and 9 women; mean age, 39.7±18.7 years) with a median MELD score 14 (range 7-31) ...
متن کاملThe transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).
The creation of an intrahepatic portosystemic shunt via a transjugular approach (TIPS) is an interventional radiological procedure used to treat the complications of portal hypertension. TIPS insertion is principally indicated to prevent or arrest variceal bleeding when medical or endoscopic treatments fail, and in the management refractory ascites. This review discusses the development and exe...
