Abstract

This report describes new techniques to perform TIPS reduction in patients with post-TIPS complications. Methods included hourglass-shaped stents and stent-grafts, and parallel stents and stent-grafts. All procedures were technically successful, resulting in increased portosystemic gradients and decreased symptoms, although patient outcomes were mixed. None of the patients experienced recurrent variceal hemorrhage or ascites in short-term follow-up. Stent-grafts have the advantage of immediate exclusion of blood flow outside the reducing stent, resulting in an immediate reduction of the caliber of the shunt. Techniques that allow fine adjustment of shunt diameters may have further advantages.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
