Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS)

Alternate Names : TIPS

After the Procedure

After the procedure, you will recover in your hospital room. You will be monitored for bleeding. You will have to keep your head raised.

You will be able to go home when you feel better. This may be the day after surgery.

Many people get back to their everyday activities in 7 to 10 days.

Your doctor will probably do ultrasounds after surgery to make sure the stent is working correctly.

Prognosis

Your radiologist can tell you right away how well the procedure worked. Most patients recover well.
