Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in the treatment of venous symptomatic chronic portal thrombosis in non-cirrhotic patients.

TL;DR: Once flow has been restored in the portal vein TIPS may be necessary to obtain an adequate outflow, hence facilitating and maintaining the portal flow.
Journal ArticleDOI

Portal Venous Thrombosis: Percutaneous Therapy and Outcome

TL;DR: TIPS is effective in patients with noncavernomatous PVT, although patients with complete thrombosis experience recurrent shunt occlusions and also may develop hepatoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt-related complications and practical solutions.

TL;DR: An overview of the spectrum of periprocedural and delayed complications related to the performance of TIPS is provided and the reader is offered pearls for both avoiding and managing those complications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of TIPS as a bridge to hepatic transplantation in Budd-Chiari syndrome.

TL;DR: Hematic synthetic dysfunction improves markedly after TIPS placement in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome and significant improvement in ascites can also occur, suggesting TIPS can be an effective bridge to transplantation for patients with BCS.

The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent-shunt procedure for variceal bleeding

TL;DR: The results suggest that the transjugular placement of an intrahepatic portosystemic stent is an effective and safe treatment for variceal hemorrhage in patients with portal hypertension due to cirrhosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two-year outcome following transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for variceal bleeding: Results in 90 patients

TL;DR: Although mid-term primary patency is limited in many patients by the development of a shunt stenosis or occlusion, shunt function can be maintained in most patients by careful surveillance and periodic percutaneous intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transjugular intrahepatic portacaval stent shunt: Preliminary clinical results

TL;DR: Two of three patients with life-threatening variceal bleeding and Child C liver cirrhosis and one patient in severe hepatorenal failure prior to the procedure died 11 days after the shunt procedure of pulmonary complications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt stenosis and revision: early and midterm results

TL;DR: The results indicate that TIPS are prone to significant and frequent early stenosis, warranting follow-up within 3-6 months in all cases, and revision of a shunt significantly prolongs shunt patency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts in patients with portal vein occlusion.

TL;DR: TIPS can be used to control variceal bleeding in some patients, despite preexisting portal vein occlusion, and preliminary recanalization of the occluded portal segment by means of the transhepatic approach may facilitate TIPS placement.
