Screening esophagus during routine ultrasound: medical and cost benefits.

abstract：:Encephalopathy is a significant complication of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent-shunt (TIPSS). The majority respond to medical treatment but a proportion prove recalcitrant to conservative measures and eventually require some modulation of shunt blood flow in order to ameliorate their symptoms. This is p...
