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. Methods. Seventy patients were treated with elective TIPS and fifty-six patients with ET. Median observation time was 46.28 months in the ...

Portovascular anomalies are most commonly seen as congenital communications in dogs and cats. Fixation, whether surgical or interventional, should be considered in all cases for which it is possible to improve perfusion to the liver, and ultimately liver function. Medical management before fixation is always recommended. If surgery is not recommended or not possible, long-term medical managemen...

Aim. To compare the incidence and timing of recurrent bleeding from esophageal gastric varices against background extrahepatic portal hypertension after various interventions. Materials methods. The research methodology involved analyzing treatment results 131 patients with who underwent surgical interventions 2006 to 2020. Total dissociation gastroesophageal collector was carried out in 57 (43...

Spontaneous asymptomatic intrahepatic portosystemic shunt is a rare anomaly of the hepatic vasculature. The main clinical manifestations may be encephalopathy, bleeding or hyperinsulinism, due to constant shedding blood. This article presents case an congenital shunt, found in patient I., aged 25, with results various imaging methods, as well analysis types described vascular anomaly.

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) ...

UNLABELLED Our objective was to investigate the diagnostic value and clinical significance of transsplenic portal scintigraphy in cirrhotic portal hypertension and compensatory circulation. METHODS Transsplenic portal scintigraphy, ultrasound, and gastroscopy were performed on 50 patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension and on 10 controls. According to the Child-Pugh classification, 15 pat...

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...
