| Description: | Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) is an artificial channel within the liver that establishes communication between the inflow portal vein and the outflow hepatic vein. It is used to treat portal hypertension (which is often due to liver cirrhosis) which frequently leads to intestinal bleeding (esophageal varices) or the buildup of fluid within the abdomen (ascites). Shunt Surgery is a procedure to create a new connection between two blood vessels in the liver. |
