title: [Management of patients with TIPS].
abstract: The Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) procedure is now performed in almost twenty hospitals in France, including Tours university hospital. The aim is to reduce portal hypertension (PHT) by diverting the portal system to the caval system within the liver. The main cause of PHT is cirrhosis, which may be of alcoholic, viral, dysmetabolic or autoimmune origin.
