Derivación portosistémica intrahepática transyugular (TIPS)

Nombres alternativos:

TIPS

Expectativas después de la cirugía:

El paciente es vigilado de manera particular después del procedimiento, a medida se despierta de la anestesia y, generalmente, se realiza un ultrasonido la mañana siguiente al procedimiento para verificar que la TIPS esté abierta y funcionando bien.

Convalecencia:

El principal objetivo durante el período de recuperación es estar atento a los signos de complicaciones. La anestesia ayuda a prevenir el dolor en el momento del procedimiento y, a menudo, se presenta poca molestia, de darse alguna, después del procedimiento.
