Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS)

Under image guidance, enter the hepatic vein from the jugular vein, and select a covered or bare metal stent when necessary. A common practice is to puncture between the hepatic vein and the portal vein to establish a channel, and then place a stent after dilation to reduce portal vein pressure. Monitor blood flow and vital signs throughout the process, and perform angiography or embolization as needed. Postoperatively, pay attention to hepatic encephalopathy, bleeding, and shunt patency, and follow up with ultrasound or blood flow indicators. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
