Any positive experiences with TIPSS
I have a consult for
TIPSS
tomorrow and would like to here some feedback from those who have had the procedure. I have no HE symptoms and realize that is a risk, but are they debilitating to the point I would not be able to drive, work, enjoy life etc. Also, is it effective in Ascites reduction?

Medication help
I'm stage 4 terminal without possibility of a Tx, have a
TIPSS
, and have an active DNACPR. I was referred to St Marys who said it was an inappropriate referral, and I'm supposed to have a fitted syringe driver with morphine, midazolam, levomepromazine, and hyoscine (busco).

What happens to ascites post TIPSS procedure?
Hi I have a question to any members who have had a TIPS shunt: what happens to ascites after the procedure? Father in law is being referred for assessment, as he has been having fortnightly drains for refractory ascites for many months. I think the shunt redirects fluid to renal system so does that mean

Is this the end of life?
Long story short,, he has since had
TIPSS
procedure 4 years ago which stopped his variceal bleeding but left him with hepatic encephalopathy. I cared for him at home for 3 and half years but went into nursing care 6 months ago.

Tipss blocked
They performed an emergency
tipss
procedure at that time. I went into hospital yesterday to have it widened/stretched. They performed the operation but couldn’t perform the procedure as they couldn’t pass anything through it.
