Abstract

The incorporation, 25 years ago, of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting, better known by the acronym TIPS, represents an indisputable improvement in the treatment and management of patients with symptoms due to portal hypertension. This article discusses the origins of the technique and the technical innovations that have been progressively added through the years. The implantation of coated stents, which protect the stent from processes in the parenchymal track that can lead to stenosis, have helped ensure long-term patency, thus reducing the need for reintervention. Solid evidence from valuable publications has situated TIPS at the forefront of the treatment options in a wide variety of clinical situations associated with portal hypertension.

Resumen

La incorporación, hace ya 25 años, de la derivación portosistémica percutánea intrahepática (conocida por todos como TIPS) ha supuesto un indudable avance terapéutico en el manejo de los pacientes con sintomatología derivada de la hipertensión portal. En este artículo se pretende recordar sus orígenes así como las innovaciones técnicas posteriores que fueron añadiéndose progresivamente. Con la implantación de las prótesis cubiertas, que enfundan el trayecto parenquimatoso, se ha conseguido asegurar la permeabilidad a largo plazo de la conexión, con lo que disminuyen las necesidades de reintervención. Las sólidas evidencias obtenidas desde valiosas publicaciones sitúan el TIPS en un lugar preferente entre el compendio terapéutico de una gran variedad de situaciones clínicas asociadas a la presencia de hipertensión portal.
