Abstract:
:Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt (TIPSS) is a new percutaneous technique for reducing portal venous pressure. We attempted TIPSS in six patients with recurrent bleeding for oesophageal or gastric varices between July 1991 and January 1992 with success in five. There have been no deaths. One patient re-bled after TIPSS. His portal pressure was found to be elevated persistently indicating an inadequate shunt. Following further dilatation of the shunt, portal pressure fell to a satisfactory level and bleeding has not recurred. No bleeding episodes have occurred in the other patients following successful TIPSS. Our series contributes to the growing body of experience which suggests that TIPSS is a safe and effective treatment for recurrent variceal bleeding.
