CHAPTER

Trans-Jugular Interhepatic, Portosystemic, Shunt

The tip stands for trans jugular interhepatic, portosystemic, shunt. You're creating a communication or a shunt through the liver from a branch of the portal vein into the branch of the hepatic vein. This can be either done prophylactically after the first bleed, or it can be done in the salvage or rescue setting. The other reason to do this would be for acites or for example, fluid in the chest that's not managed with where a patient does not respond to diuretics.
