Conclusions: After TIPS implantation, mortality is increased by aging, but TIPS placement
should not be precluded in patients older than 70 years. In older adults, creatinine and …

ABSTRACT Introduction & Aim. The role of age as a predictor of mortality after transjugular
intra hepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is controversial. Age has been found to be an …

Aim: To compare age-related morbidity and mortality after transjugular intrahepatic
portosystemic shunts (TIPS). Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients …

PURPOSE: To identify prognostic factors for early mortality among patients with intermediate-
risk Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores undergoing transjugular intrahepatic …

PURPOSE: This retrospective analysis was conducted to identify factors predictive of
survival after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation. MATERIALS …

Background and aims: Accurate estimates of the long-term risks of adverse outcomes after
transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) treatment are needed. The aim of this …

Background and aims The high risk for severe shunting‐related post‐interventional
complications demands a stringent selection of candidates for transjugular intrahepatic …

Objectives Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is adopted to treat refractory
complications of portal hypertension, such as variceal bleeding and ascites. This study …

Background & Aims A transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an effective
treatment of refractory ascites and variceal bleeding. However, it is unclear whether a TIPS …

AIM: To investigate if echocardiographic and hemodynamic determinations obtained at the
time of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) can provide prognostic …
