- Transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunt (TIPS)
Definitions
- Shunt between portal vein (PV) and hepatic vein (HV) created typically with balloon-expandable polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered stent graft
- Shunt dysfunction
- Reduction > 50% of shunt lumen
- Portosystemic gradient > 12-15 mm Hg
- Complete occlusion of shunt
