The Effect of Transjugular Intraheptic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) on Gastrointestinal Motility and the Gut Microbiota
August 5, 2022 updated by: NYU Langone Health
The effect of portal hypertension on gastrointestinal motility, and how reversal or improvement in portal hypertension may alter gastrointestinal motility, remains unclear and further research is needed.
Additionally, patients with cirrhosis have altered gut microflora, particularly rich in lactobacilli, including enterococci and bifidobacteria.
Transjugular Intraheptic Portosystemic Shunting (TIPS) is a procedure performed by interventional radiologists, in which a connection is made between the portal and venous circulations, allowing high pressure portal blood to more easily enter the systemic circulation and bypass the liver; thus effectively decreased portal pressure.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Pre-TIPS intestinal transit time (measured in hours and minutes), via smart pill in patients with cirrhosis
Time Frame: 14 Weeks
|
Due to small sample size, Wilcoxon rank-sum test will be used to compare the continuous variable of gut transit times.
A p-value of <0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
