Abstract:
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is one of intervention treatment method, which can effectively reduce portal vein pressure by inserting a stent between the portal vein and the hepatic vein. Meanwhile, TIPS can alleviate refractory complications caused by cirrhosis and portal hypertension. At present, imaging methods can be used in perioperative evaluation, intraoperative guidance and postoperative follow-up of TIPS. Ultrasonography has advantages of non-invasion, cheapness, high repeatability and so on. The progresses of ultrasonic imaging technology in application process of TIPS before, during and after operation were reviewed in this article.
