How much blood flows through the liver after a tips is inserted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Much less: A tips (transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt) allows blood to bypass the liver by making a connection between the portal venous system and a hepatic vein. By doing so, portal flow into the liver parenchyma (tissue) is greatly decreased or reversed.
