Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Hepatology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Portal hypertension is a serious complication of liver disease.
  • Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation is an established treatment for portal hypertension.
  • Managing complications of portal hypertension requires effective interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report personal experience with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedures.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of TIPS in treating portal hypertension.
  • To present outcomes of 43 TIPS procedures in 42 patients.

Main Methods:

  • Transjugular access to catheterize suprahepatic veins.
  • Creation of an intrahepatic path connecting the portal vein to hepatic veins.
