Predictive value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio for long-term adverse outcomes in cirrhosis patients post-transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) may predict outcomes in end-stage liver disease, but its value after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is unclear. This study explored the link between NLR and long-term outcomes in decompensated cirrhosis patients post-TIPS. We retrospectively analyzed 184 patients treated between January 2016 and December 2021, noting demographic data, lab results, and follow-up outcomes, including liver transplantation or death.

Background: In cirrhotic patients, portal hypertension increases mortality after surgery. We evaluated the impact of pre-operative transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) on the outcomes of bariatric surgery in cirrhosis.
Methods: Multicentric retrospective cohort.
Hemodynamic comparisons of different shunt positions and geometrical model simplification strategies in the simulation of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).

Article Synopsis
- TIPS surgery is common for treating portal hypertension, impacting postoperative complications tied to the portal venous system's hemodynamics.
- The study utilizes computational modeling to evaluate hemodynamic outcomes based on varying shunt positions and geometrical simplification strategies, using clinical data from two patients.
- Results indicated that placing the shunt at the main portal vein is preferable for reducing postoperative portal pressure and wall shear stress, while underscoring the importance of model simplifications in simulations.
Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) Check and Revision in a Freestanding Outpatient Facility: Safety and Efficacy.

Aim This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) check and revision procedures performed in a freestanding interventional radiology (IR) outpatient facility. Methodology A total of 40 patients (male 31:female 9, median age 60 years old) underwent a TIPS check and/or revision at a freestanding IR outpatient facility between 2009 and 2017. Procedures were performed using a mobile C-arm unit under intravenous (IV) moderate sedation, with the patient discharged home on the same day.

Background: Portal vein system-specific risk factors contributing to portal vein thrombosis in cirrhosis are poorly investigated.
Aims: To quantify contact system and intrinsic pathway activation in peripheral compared to portal venous blood in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.
Methods: Adult patients with cirrhosis undergoing transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt underwent simultaneous blood sampling from a peripheral vein and the portal vein.
