Transhepatic Portosystemic Shant (TIPS) Treatments

Transhepatic Portosystemic Shant (TIPS) Treatments

Transhepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) is a minimally invasive interventional treatment used for conditions such as liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension. The procedure creates a connection between intrahepatic vessels, linking the portal and systemic circulation, which helps regulate blood flow and reduces complications caused by portal hypertension.

İnvaziv Medikal provides advanced medical devices and systems used in TIPS procedures, offering healthcare institutions reliable and innovative solutions.

What Is TIPS?

TIPS stands for Transhepatic Portosystemic Shunt. During the procedure, a connection is created between the portal vein and the hepatic vein through the liver vessels. This shunt helps reduce portal hypertension-related complications such as bleeding, fluid accumulation in the abdomen, and other issues associated with advanced liver disease.

Indications for TIPS Treatment

TIPS is generally used in the following cases:

• Accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity (ascites)

• Variceal bleeding in the esophagus and stomach

• Other complications caused by portal hypertension

• Liver cirrhosis and advanced liver disease

This method allows management of complications without the need for open surgical intervention.

How Is the TIPS Procedure Performed?

TIPS is performed using a minimally invasive approach. Typically, under radiological imaging guidance, a catheter is inserted through the liver vessels to place the shunt. During the procedure:

• A metal stent or shunt is positioned between the portal and hepatic veins

• Blood flow is redirected and pressure is reduced

• Portal hypertension-related complications are alleviated

The procedure can be completed in a short time with a low risk of complications.

Technologies Used in TIPS Treatments

Modern TIPS procedures utilize advanced technologies, including:

• Sophisticated catheter systems

• Metal stent and shunt devices

• Radiological imaging equipment

• Minimally invasive interventional tools

These technologies ensure that TIPS procedures are performed safely and effectively.

İnvaziv Medikal supplies the medical products used in TIPS procedures to healthcare institutions, supporting the safety and success of treatment processes.
