TIPS

(TIPS) Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a process used to decrease portal hypertension. The procedure involves puncturing the portal vein through liver and placing a small wire-mesh coil (stent) between two veins.

BRTO

BRTO is a method used to treat gastric variceal bleeding caused by portal hypertension. This procedure involves blocking of dilated vessels which reduces the risk of rupture. The interventional radiologist will insert a balloon catheter through a vein in your neck or thigh and guide it to the liver using fluoroscopy. The catheter is then directed to gastrocaval or gastrorenal shunt and the balloon is inflated to block the shunt.
