Overview

A transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, also known as TIPS, is an artificial channel in the liver connecting the portal vein to a hepatic vein (for blood). It is an endovascular channel (created via the blood vessels) through the jugular vein. It is used to treat portal hypertension (which often is due to scarring of the liver- usually due to liver cirrhosis, which frequently leads to intestinal bleeding- from varices, or the buildup of fluid within the abdomen- also known as ascites. A TIPS decreases the effective vascular resistance of the liver. The result is a large pressure drop within the hepatic sinusoids and a decreased portal venous pressure. This, in turn, lessens the pressure on the blood vessels in the intestine so that future bleeding is less likely to occur. The reduced pressure also makes less fluid to develop, although this benefit may take weeks or months to occur.

History

  • In 1969, Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) was first described by Joseph Rösch et al in dogs (patency lasted 2 weeks).[1][2]
  • In 1982, Colapinto and Gordon were the first to use this procedure in a human clinical trial but at the time the results were not encouraging and had a high mortality rate in which 9 people died within the month.[3][4]
  • In the mid-1980's, J. C. Palmaz achieved long-term patency with the introduction of expandable metallic stents, and was thus approved by the local ethics committee in 1987. The procedure took an average of 8 hours and the long-term patency lasted as long as 9 months.[5]
  • In 1990, Jean Marc Perarnau helped improved the puncture techinque which led to a reduction in procedure time.The procedure took an average of 1 to 2 hours.[6]
  • In 1995, Nishimine K et al experimented on expanded polytetrafluoroethylene-covered (PTFE) stent grafts that last longer and are currently used for TIPS creation by most interventionalists.[7]

Indications

The following are accepted indications for TIPS:[8]

Controversial indications for TIPS are due to the limited data available in uncontrolled-trials. The following are controversial indications for TIPS:

Procedure

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation proceeds as follows:[39][40][41][42][43][44][45]

  • Positioning- The patient will be positioned on their back.
  • Monitoring- The patient will then be connected to monitors that track the heart rate, blood pressure and pulse during the procedure.
  • Line placement- A nurse or technologist will insert an intravenous (IV) line into a vein in the patients hand or arm so that sedative medication can be given intravenously. Moderate sedation may be used. As an alternative, the patient may receive general anesthesia.
  • Sterilization- The area of the patient's body where the catheter is to be inserted will be sterilized and covered with a surgical drape. Clean the skin on the neck with chlorhexidine or povidone-iodine solution.
  • Anesthetic- Numb the area just above the right collarbone with a local anesthetic.
  • Incision for catheter- Make a small (≤1 cm) horizontal skin incision.
  • Identification of vessel- Using ultrasonographic guidance and a micropuncture or an 18-gauge access needle, puncture the anterior wall of the vein, and enter the vein. Aspirate venous blood to confirm the needle position..
  • Determine conditions- Using real time x-ray guidance, advance the 0.035-in. guide wire, and insert the accompanying 5-French sheath over the wire. Use a curved catheter and Terumo hydrophilic wire to access the right hepatic vein. Wedge the catheter in the hepatic vein. Obtain wedged hepatic and inferior vena cava (IVC)/right atrial pressure measurements, and calculate the gradient to confirm the diagnosis of portal hypertension, and also to determine the severity of the condition. To help plan for the placement of the TIPS stent, a contrast material will be injected in the hepatic vein to identify the portal venous system.
  • Tract formation - Insert an Amplatz wire, and then exchange the Cobra-2 catheter and 5-French sheath for the 10-French sheath with dilator. Remove the dilator, and introduce the inner sheath, loaded together with the metal stiffener (stent). Insert the system up to 1 cm from the point of intersection of the two veins. Remove the wire, and insert the catheter with the needle. Turn the system, using the metal arrow on the stiffener anteriorly (on the assumption of placement in the right hepatic vein), and advance the needle with the catheter in an anteroinferior direction parallel to the spine, aiming for the portal vein. Start the throw approximately 2 cm from the confluence of the right hepatic vein and the IVC. The right portal vein is typically accessed 0.5-1.5 vertebral body widths lateral to the spine between T10 and T12. Remove the needle, and attach a small syringe with 1 mL of contrast to the catheter. Aspirate while gently withdrawing. A loss of resistance is felt once the catheter enters the portal vein.
  • Preparing the stent- Confirm by aspiration and then injection of contrast. Once in the portal vein, insert a Terumo Glidewire. Advance the wire into the superior mesenteric vein or the splenic vein, and advance the catheter. Obtain portal and central pressure measurements to confirm the gradient. Exchange the Terumo wire for an 180-cm Amplatz wire. Perform angioplasty of the tract (with a 6- or 8-mm balloon). Advance a 10-French sheath into the portal vein; replacing the dilator is likely to be helpful. Exchange the catheter for a calibrated pigtail catheter. Perform a double-flush angiogram via both the pigtail and the side arm of the sheath (with the inner metal stiffener removed and sheath pulled back into the hepatic vein) to obtain images of hepatic and portal veins. Use these images to calculate the length of stent required. Measure from the portal vein to the confluence of the hepatic vein and the IVC. To correctly size a Viatorr stent, add 1-2 cm to the measured length. Reinsert the Amplatz wire, and advance the sheath back into the portal vein.
  • Placement of stent- Remove the pigtail catheter then insert the stent over the wire into position; be careful to keep the Viatorr stent confined by the packaging sheath until it is fully introduced into the 10-French sheath, and do not advance the stent beyond the sheath tip in the portal vein. Sheath and stent should extend approximately 3 cm into the portal vein. Withdraw the outer TIPS sheath, and then deploy the stent as per its prescribed mechanism. With the Viatorr, an upstream 2-cm-long uncovered segment is deployed by withdrawing the sheath. Positioning may be fine-tuned at this point to achieve the goal of placing the uncovered portion in the portal vein and the covered portion in the tract/hepatic vein. Undersizing the initial tract angioplasty may help give a tactile sense of the junction of the portal vein and the tract. Once the stent is in the correct position, the balloon is inflated, expanding the stent into place.
  • After the stent- Perform a portogram to assess flow through stent and any waisting. Measure pressures to ensure a typical goal portohepatic gradient of less than 12 mmHg (for confirmation of a reduction in portal hypertension). If necessary, dilate the stent with an 8-mm balloon. If the stent does not reach the confluence of the hepatic vein and the IVC, it may be extended with an additional uncovered stent. The balloon is then deflated and removed along with the catheter.
  • Closing up- Pressure will be applied to prevent any bleeding and the opening in the skin is covered with a bandage. No sutures are needed.
  • Observation- The patient will be admitted to the hospital following the procedure, where they will be closely observed.
  • Completion- This procedure is usually completed in an hour or two but may take up to several hours depending on the complexity of the condition and vascular anatomy.

Postprocedure

Monitoring and follow-up

The high frequency of shunt stenosis warrants close surveillance with Doppler ultrasonography or portography. To ensure patency, patients undergo a baseline Doppler study within 24 hours of the procedure to document functional parameters, including the direction of portal vein flow and flow velocities throughout the shunt and within the hepatic vein. This is then followed again 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and annually thereafter.[46] Although TIPS venography with direct portal and right atrial pressure measurements is the criterion standard for stent assessment, high sensitivity and specificity for shunt function has been reported with certain Doppler criteria, such as follows:[47][48][49][50]

Doppler criteria
Low mean Portal Vein velocity (<30 cm/s)
High peak shunt velocity (190 cm/s)
Low peak shunt velocity (<50 to 90 cm/s)
Return of Antegrade flow in the intrahepatic Portal Veins
Significant change in shunt velocity (>50 cm/s) as compared with the immediate postprocedural result


Doppler ultrasound is the most valuable means to estimate shunt function, such is the following indications:[51][52][53]

  • In general, the pre-procedural velocity increases by TIPS by a factor of 2–4 (40-60 cm/sec).

Outcome

The following are some of the possible outcomes of the TIPS procedure:[54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67]

  • The technical success of TIPS placement is related to the experience and skill of the interventional radiologist. Data from three large centers (University of California; University of Pennsylvania; and the Freiberg group) demonstrated technical success rates of more than 90%.
  • Successful TIPS placement results in a portosystemic gradient of less than 12 mm Hg and immediate control of variceal-related bleeding. A target portosystemic gradient of 12 mm Hg is used as varices tend not to bleed when the gradient is less than 12 mm Hg. When technical failure occurs, it is usually due to an anatomic situation that prevents acceptable portal venous puncture.
  • Significant reduction in ascites usually occurs within 1 month of the procedure, and this is estimated to occur in 50-90% of cases.
  • Late stenosis and occlusion are usually related to pseudointimal hyperplasia within the stent or, more commonly, intimal hyperplasia within the hepatic vein. In most cases, the stenotic stent can be crossed with a guide wire and recanalized with balloon dilation or repeat stent placement to improve long-term patency rates. Primary patency after TIPS placement has been reported to be 66% and 42% after 1 and 2 years, respectively. Primary-assisted patency rates at 1 and 2 years are reported to be 83% and 79%, respectively, and secondary patency rates at 1 and 2 years are reported to be 96% and 90% respectively.
  • Patients with severe systemic disease with an APACHE II score higher than 20 have a greater risk for early mortality, compared with others.
  • Patients with active bleeding during the procedure also have increased early mortality. The 30-day mortality is iwithn a range of 3-30%; the variation within this range is related to whether the procedure was performed on an emergency basis or an elective basis.

Complications

Possible complication after the TIPS procedure may lead to the following:[68][69][66][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78]

Major complications
Immediate complications Delayed complications

Encephalopathy (immediate complication) may be amenable to medical therapy ; if it is severe, the shunt may have to be narrowed or embolized[80]. As for In-stent stenosis a greater than 50% stenosis is seen in 25% of TIPS cases; this can be addressed with angioplasty. In the acute phase, the stent may undergo thrombosis. To treat this, the stent can be lysed, or mechanical thrombectomy can be performed. If later in-stent stenosis occurs, perform angioplasty or insert another stent, as required.[81]

Technical complications

Centers using sonography during the puncture process have experienced near-complete abolishment of these technical complications. Also, in particular, the Viatorr stent is designed to be placed with great accuracy and misplacement is almost impossible.

Pearls

Interesting facts about the procedure are:[84][85]

  • Always perform Doppler ultrasonography to assess the portal vein before starting the TIPS procedure to confirm that the portal vein is not thrombosed.
  • If covered shunt patency is difficult to assess on follow-up Doppler ultrasonography, CT may be performed.
  • If insertion is unsuccessful, pull the catheter back into the sheath, reinsert the needle, and try again.
  • When using Amplatz wires, always keep the tip of the wire under control. If the wire tip is not properly controlled, it can easily perforate the liver or the mesentery.
  • To confirm entry into portal vein, inject contrast material. Contrast flowing toward the right atrium indicates hepatic vein location. Static contrast likely indicates biliary system location. Contrast flowing to liver periphery can indicate location in the hepatic artery or portal vein; however, the portal radicals are larger in size.
  • If the middle hepatic vein is used, remember to rotate the TIPS sheath and stiffener posteriorly because the middle portal vein lies posterior and inferior to the hepatic vein.
  •  In contrast to serial paracentesis, TIPS leads to a significant improvement of these parameters including total blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and total body protein, muscle mass, and albumin concentration.
  • Technical advancements in skills and stents have reduced complications and improved patency of TIPS. The major obstacle remains hepatic encephalopathy, which requires proper selection of patients and smaller shunts.
  • In patients with acute variceal bleeding and high risk of early rebleeding, recent studies showed improved survival recommending early TIPS implantation. With respect to the prevention of rebleeding (secondary prophylaxis), TIPS remains the second-line treatment; unless new studies with covered stents demonstrate its superiority over standard medical therapy.
  • In 2 relevant meta-analyses, TIPS improved survival in patients with refractory ascites, justifying its earlier application.
  • It clearly reverses the circulatory dysfunction which leads to normalization of the renal function.
  • With a 10-year survival rate of 80%, TIPS is the preferred treatment in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome who do not respond sufficiently to medical treatment. The meta-analysis of individual patient data by Salerno showed that patients who had undergone TIPS lived significantly longer than patients treated with paracentesis.
  • TIPS also seems to improve the estimated transplant free survival in patients with MELD scores between 10 and 20, suggesting that even patients with severe disease may benefit from TIPS.
