TIPS
As a result of the deterioration of liver function in cirrhosis patients, the pressure in the veins called porta, which is the nourishing vein of the liver, increases and varicose veins occur around the stomach and esophagus.
These varices can cause severe and unpredictable bleeding.
In addition, patients may also have fluid accumulation within the abdomen and chest that cannot be treated.
TIPS is a closed angiographic procedure that is effective in preventing all these conditions.
The porta vascular system of the patient with high pressure is connected to the systemic vein system with a lower pressure through a channel formed by the angio method.
TIPS is also a procedure that protects the patient from possible complications and acts as a bridge for liver transplantation.
