Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS): a decade later.
Since the introduction of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) 10 years ago, it has been used increasingly in the management of portal hypertension and its complications. TIPS is now considered the procedure of choice for management of refractory variceal bleeding. Its role in the management of refractory ascites, hepatic hydrothorax, hepatorenal syndrome, and hepatopulmonary sy...
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 کاملReporting standards for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts.
IN the last 5 years, the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure has become widely disseminated. The number of interventional radiologists who are creating shunts has steadily increased as the procedure has become an accepted method of reducing portal vein pressure (1–28). Although the optimal technique for shunt creation continues to evolve, shunts can routinely be creat...
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...
