TIPS is a contraction standing for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.
Hepatocirrhosis is not a death sentence. This disease is dangerous due to its complications – abdominal dropsy and external abdominal hemorrhage. These complications are curable. Unfortunately, not all patients are aware of TIPS, an advanced surgery that has been performed for the last 18 years by the Russian Professor Vladimir Shipovskiy.
