Implantation of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS)
For TIPS implantation, a transjugular approach is used in all patients and a puncture needle was advanced into a hepatic vein. Puncture of the portal vein is performed using ultrasound guidance followed by portography after successful puncture of the portal vein. Further, the parenchymal tract isdilated and the stent graft is placed. Before and after TIPS implantation, portal venous and central venous pressures are measured to calculate the porto-systemic pressure gradient
