4 days ago · Congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSS) are rare congenital vascular anomalies characterized by abnormal connections between the portal vein and systemic circulation, bypassing the liver. They can lead to complications such as recurrent encephalopathy, liver nodules, portopulmonary hypertension, and neurocognitive issues due to hyperammonemia ...
5 days ago · To compare the efficacy of endoscopic injection sclerotherapy with N-butyl cyanoacrylate glue (EIS-CYA) vs EIS-CYA plus a radiologic intervention (either transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPSS) or balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO)) for secondary prophylaxis in patients with liver cirrhosis who presented with acute variceal bleeding (AVB) from ...

4 days ago · From the view of clinical practice, preoperative awareness of portal venous configuration is important before portal vein embolization, hepatic segments resection, graft procurement in liver transplantation and placement of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS).
3 days ago · A TIPS catheter is a medical device inserted to create a shunt between the portal and hepatic veins to relieve portal hypertension. 2. What are the common uses of TIPS catheters? TIPS catheters are commonly used in patients with complications of portal hypertension, such as variceal bleeding or ascites. 3.
5 days ago · Ideally, ascites is medically managed with loop diuretics and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, but sometimes, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) may be necessary to control ascites (though there are insufficient data to recommend TIPS to decrease operative risk).
3 days ago · Background: Portal hypertension affects hepatic, splanchnic and portosystemic collateral systems. Although alcohol is a well-known risk factor for liver cirrhosis, it also affects vascular contractility. However, the relevant effects on portal hypertension have not been evaluated in non-alcoholic cirrhosis. This study aimed to investigate the impacts of low-dose alcohol on portal hypertension ...
