What is TIPS Procedure: Complications & Contraindications about?
Immediate complications of TIPS procedures include hemorrhage, gallbladder rupture, misplaced stents, skin burns from radiation, liver tissue damage, and kidney failure. Later complications involve hepatic encephalopathy from blood bypassing the liver or shunt stenosis from blood clots blocking the stent. Conditions making the procedure more difficult include biliary blockages, liver cancer, blocked portal or hepatic veins, liver cysts, or advanced liver disease.
