Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) (Lower Mainland) [English] Permalink Public
Transjugular means to enter the body by way of the jugular vein. Intrahepatic means within the liver. Portosystemic means between the main portal vein and the hepatic vein. Shunt means creating a new connection for blood flow. A small mesh tube called a stent keeps the shunt open. We use this procedure to treat increased blood pressure within a group of veins in the abdomen called the portal veins (called portal hypertension). This pamphlet describes the procedure, who will be performing procedure, how to prepare, what happens during procedure, will it hurt?, how long it will take, risks or complications, what happens afterwards, follow-up instructions and information on who to contact if experiencing problems.
