Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

TIPS

TIPS will be performed with a standard technique. TIPS revision will be planned if any evidence of shunt dysfunction is observed.

PROCEDURE

Variceal Embolization

Embolization of gastroesophageal collaterals will be conducted via the same jugular vein before TIPS implantation. The major procedures includ (a) angiography of gastroesophageal collaterals after successful intrahepatic puncture of a branch of the portal vein and (b) embolization of gastroesophageal collaterals with coils of varying diameters, which result in the gastroesophageal collaterals disappearing at postembolization angiography.
