Comparison of clinical outcomes in patients with refractory ascites treated with either TIPS, tunneled peritoneal catheter, or ascites pump.
Hepatol Commun

Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Infectious Diseases and Endocrinology, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany.
Background: Refractory ascites (RA) remains a serious complication in patients with cirrhosis. Currently, the insertion of a TIPS is considered the standard of care in these patients. To achieve symptom control in those with TIPS contraindications, tunneled peritoneal catheters (PeCa) or ascites pumps were introduced.

Objectives: To assess the incidence and clinical findings associated with the presence of ammonium urate urolithiasis in dogs with congenital portosystemic shunts.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of dogs diagnosed with extrahepatic portosystemic shunts or intrahepatic portosystemic shunts in 15 referral hospitals between 2010 and 2023. Data including signalment, clinical signs, physical examination findings and clinicopathologic test results at the time of the diagnosis were collected, and the presence of ammonium urate urolithiasis was recorded.
Relation between anatomical features of patent foramen ovale and residual shunt based on transesophageal echocardiography.

We aimed to evaluate the incidence of residual shunt after patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure and analyze the anatomical features of PFO to determine the risk factors for significant residual shunt after PFO closure. Ninety-two patients who underwent PFO closure at our center between September 2021 and June 2022 were consecutively enrolled. Transthoracic saline contrast echocardiography was performed at 6 and 12 months postoperatively to evaluate the presence of a significant residual shunt.

Department of Medical Sciences, Neurosurgery, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden.
Purpose: The follow-up routine for patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) after shunt surgery differs across medical centers. Shunt surgery is not without risks, with complications emerging at various times after the procedure. The aim was to explore the timing and methods of detecting complications following ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery for iNPH.

Hepatology
January 2025
Department of Experimental and Clinical Medicine, University of Florence, Florence, Italy.
Background Aims: In clinical practice, the reduction of porto-caval pressure gradient (PCPG) following trans-jugular intra-hepatic porto-systemic shunt (TIPS) does not always meet the recommendation of current guidance. We evaluated the impact of different degrees of PCPG reduction, measured at the end of an elective TIPS, on ascites control, recurrence of portal hypertension-related bleeding (PHRB) and survival.
Approach And Results: Cirrhotic patients receiving TIPS for refractory ascites (RA) or for the secondary prophylaxis of PHRB were consecutively enrolled.
