Core Tip

Core Tip: Trans-jugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is indicated for portal hypertension related complications and the restoration of pre-transplantation portal vein patency in cirrhotic patients with portal vein thrombosis. Cavernous transformation is an indicator for technical failure. Post-TIPS anticoagulation seems not mandatory. Simultaneous TIPS and percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy device could achieve accelerated portal vein recanalization and decreased thrombolysis-associated complications, but further investigation is still needed.
