Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is considered the standard of care in patients with emergent variceal bleeding. TIPS procedures can be complicated by difficult anatomy, supply access, and operator experience which result prolonged procedure times. Percutaneous transhepatic embolization (PTVE) may cases or when there a contraindication for TIPS. This study designed to compare technical success, rebleeding, survival rate PTVE versus TIPs controlling In this single-center...

Prior biliary intervention is a known risk factor for hepatobiliary infection after liver tumor ablation and embolization, presumably because of colonization the system by enteric organisms. The purpose this study was to determine whether prior also increases transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation. This multi-institution retrospective analyzed patients undergoing TIPS creation who had interventions (bilioenteric anastomoses, sphincterotomies, internal plastic or metal...

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is considered the standard of care to treat patients with refractory sequala cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Getting access into vein often most critical part procedure accounting for radiation dose. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) can provide real-time visualization hepatic anatomy, potentially reducing (PV) time. The purpose this study compare time get PV dose between IVUS-guided (iTIPS) conventional TIPS (cTIPS). In single-center...
