[Portosystemic shunt via the left branch of portal vein for the prevention of encephalopathy following transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt].
To determine and analyze plasma ammonia concentration difference of the portal vein system and ramifications of rabbits and consequently guide selection of the portal vein in transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) so that reduce shunt-induced hepatic encephalopathic incidence. To evaluate clinical significance of transjugular intrahepatic left branch of portal vein portosystemic shunt (TILPS) and to analyse hemodynamics of both branches of the portal vein and to observe long-term results in the prevention of encephalopathy. ⋯ Selective left branch of the portal vein portosystemic shunt can decrease encephalopathy obviously and protect liver function.
