Characteristics and outcomes of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt recipients in the VA Healthcare System.

TL;DR: Burden of extra-hepatic comorbidities, HCV infection, and low serum albumin strongly predict post-TIPS mortality in addition to the MELD score, which should not be considered simply as a bridge to transplantation.

Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Placement for Portal Hypertension: Meta-Analysis of Safety and Efficacy of 8 mm vs. 10 mm Stents.

TL;DR: Meta-analysis results suggest that there is not one superior stent choice for all clinical scenarios and that the TIPS indication of variceal bleeding or refractory ascites might have different appropriate selection of the shunt diameter.

Impact of TIPS on Splenic Volume and Thrombocytopenia

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated changes in splenic volumes and platelet counts after TIPS insertion and found that the increase in platelet count was correlated with decreasing splenic volume.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abdominal Applications of 4D Flow MRI.

TL;DR: Results of recent studies indicate that 4D flow MRI improves understanding of altered hemodynamics in patients with abdominal disease and may be useful for monitoring therapeutic response.

A model to predict survival in patients with end‐stage liver disease

TL;DR: The MELD scale is a reliable measure of mortality risk in patients with end‐stage liver disease and suitable for use as a disease severity index to determine organ allocation priorities in patient groups with a broader range of disease severity and etiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

A model to predict poor survival in patients undergoing transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts.

TL;DR: This Mayo TIPS model may predict early death following elective TIPS for either prevention of variceal rebleeding or for treatment of refractory ascites, superior to both the Child‐Pugh classification and the Child-Pugh score in predicting survival.

Revising consensus in portal hypertension: Report of the Baveno V Consensus Workshop on methodology of diagnosis and therapy in Portal Hypertension

TL;DR: A Baveno V workshop was held on May 21–22, 2010, attended by many of the experts responsible for most of the major achievements of the last years in this field, and produced consensus statements on some important points, although some issues remained unsettled.

Early Use of TIPS in Patients with Cirrhosis and Variceal Bleeding

TL;DR: In patients with cirrhosis who were hospitalized for acute variceal bleeding and at high risk for treatment failure, the early use of TIPS was associated with significant reductions in treatment failure and in mortality.
