  • Title: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for intractable colonic bleeding in a patient with cirrhosis.
    Author: Malki S, Allen R, Pavli P.
    Journal: J Gastroenterol Hepatol; 2000 Aug; 15(8):962-3. PubMed ID: 11022842.
    Abstract:
    A patient with portal hypertension due to alcoholic liver disease developed colonic bleeding that responded to transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) after the failure of other measures. This case illustrates that TIPS should be considered in the treatment of colonic, as well as upper gastrointestinal, bleeding associated with portal hypertension.
