Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPSS) is a promising method of treatment for gastric or esophageal variceal bleeding. This study was performed to determine the prognostic factors contributing to the survival of patients after TIPSS for gastric or esophageal variceal bleeding. One hundred and fifty-five patients who underwent TIPSS between September 1991 and March 2001 were follo...
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...
BACKGROUND The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent-shunt (TIPSS) builds a shortcut between the portal vein and a liver vein, and represents a sophisticated alternative to open surgery in the management of portal hypertension or its complications. OBJECTIVES To describe clinical experiences with a low-profile nitinol stent system in TIPSS creation, and to assess primary and long-term...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS To test the contribution of portal pressure gradient (PPG) and neurohumoral factors to sodium handling in cirrhotic patients without ascites, by comparing preascitic cirrhotic patients with patients with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt (TIPSS) and previous ascites. PATIENTS Ten patients with TIPSS and 10 preascitic cirrhotic patients. METHODS Changes ...
BACKGROUND The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt (TIPSS) is effective in the management of both oesophageal and gastric variceal bleeding. Although it has been reported that gastric varices can bleed at pressures of < or = 12 mm Hg, this phenomenon has been little studied in the clinical setting. AIMS To assess the efficacy of TIPSS on rebleeding and mortality following gast...
Background: The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt (TIPSS) is effective in the management of both oesophageal and gastric variceal bleeding. Although it has been reported that gastric varices can bleed at pressures of <12 mm Hg, this phenomenon has been little studied in the clinical setting.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to introduce an intensive interventional maternity care program, called the Temple Infant and Parent Support Services (TIPSS) program, and to determine whether comprehensive maternal and infant care would reduce the high rate of infant morbidity and mortality. METHODS The TIPSS program was comprehensive, offering multidisciplinary services that were fam...
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...
In patients with portal hypertension, bleeding from rectal varices is rare. However, it can be life-threatening. We report a case of massive bleeding from large rectal varices in a 59-year-old man with alcoholic cirrhosis. Emergent transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement was performed following failed local endoscopic therapy. Despite normalization of the portosystemic pr...
The kidney plays an important role in ammonia metabolism. In this study the hypothesis was tested that the kidney can acutely diminish ammonia release after portacaval shunting. Thirteen patients with cirrhosis (6 female/7 male, age 54.4 +/- 3.3 yr) were studied. Blood was sampled prior to and 1 h after transjugular intrahepatic stent-shunt (TIPSS) insertion from the portal vein, a hepatic vein...
