Video Summary
The ASLD webinar entitled Applications of Tips for Portal Hypertension, Entering a New Era focused on the indications and techniques for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement in the management of portal hypertension. The webinar was divided into two presentations. The first presentation by Dr. Virginia Hernandez-Reya discussed the indications for TIPS in patients with refractory or recurrent ascites and acute variceal bleeding. She explained that TIPS placement is beneficial in patients with refractory ascites who are not eligible for liver transplantation. The procedure reduces ascites and improves survival. In patients with acute variceal bleeding, TIPS can be used as a rescue or pre-emptive strategy to control bleeding and prevent re-bleeding. Dr. Hernandez-Reya also discussed the use of TIPS in patients with portal and mesenteric thrombosis, both in cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients. The second presentation by Dr. Riyad Salem focused on the use of portal vein recanalization TIPS in patients with chronic cavernous transformation and complete portal vein occlusion. He explained the technique of gaining access to the splenic or mesenteric veins and creating a TIPS to decompress the portal hypertension. Dr. Salem showed several case studies highlighting the technical aspects of the procedure and its outcomes. He emphasized the safety and efficacy of the procedure in both cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patient populations. The webinar concluded with a Q&A session where the speakers addressed questions from the audience.
