18. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
 Selective Shunts Goals:
Prevent variceal bleeding and encephalopathy
Mechanism:  
Decompress Varices
Maintain Portal Perfusion
Maintain Portal Hypertension
Key:  
	Decompress only gastrosplenic compartment 
19. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
 Distal Splenorenal Shunt 
20. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
 DSRS vs Total Shunts Six randomized trials in N.A.
Mean follow-up 39 mos (1-8 yrs) 
21. TIPS on Portal Hypertension
 Partial Shunts Ease of portocaval
Limited portal diversion
Maintain some liver perfusion
Short, straight  PTFE graft

Hallmark:  
            Isolated Gastric Varices
Treatment:
            Splenectomy (if bleeding)
