Table 1. Main series of TIPS implantation for the management of portal thrombosis.
Abstract

Portal vein thrombosis is a common complication in patients with cirrhosis. Anticoagulation involves a high risk of bleeding secondary to portal hypertension, so placing transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) has become an alternative treatment for portal vein thrombosis. Three strategies for TIPS placement have been reported: (1) portal recanalization and conventional implantation of the TIPS through the jugular vein; (2) portal recanalization through percutaneous transhepatic/transsplenic access; and (3) insertion of the TIPS between the suprahepatic vein and a periportal collateral vessel without portal recanalization. We describe different materials that can be used as fluoroscopic targets for the TIPS needle and for portal recanalization.

This article aims to show the success of TIPS implantation using different combinations of the techniques listed above, which is a good treatment alternative in these patients whose clinical condition makes them difficult to manage, and to show that portal vein thrombosis/cavernous transformation should not be considered a contraindication for TIPS.

Resumen

La trombosis venosa portal (TVP) es una complicación frecuente en pacientes cirróticos. Una alternativa al tratamiento anticoagulante, dado el alto riesgo de hemorragia secundaria a hipertensión portal, es la inserción de un shunt portosistémico transyugular intrahepático (TIPS). Se han descrito tres estrategias para la inserción del TIPS: 1) recanalización portal e implantación convencional del TIPS por vía yugular; 2) recanalización portal mediante acceso percutáneo (transhepático/transesplénico), y 3) inserción del TIPS entre una vena suprahepática y una colateral periportal, sin recanalización portal. Describimos varios materiales útiles como diana fluoroscópica para la aguja del TIPS y para la recanalización portal.

El objetivo de este artículo es dar a conocer el éxito en la implantación de TIPS usando las diferentes técnicas descritas combinadas, lo que representa una buena alternativa terapéutica para esos pacientes difíciles de manejar debido a su deficiente condición clínica. Por tanto, la TVP/cavernomatosis no debe considerarse como una contraindicación para TIPS.
