Impact of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt creation on the central lymphatic system in liver cirrhosis

Abstract The puropse of this study was to evaluate associations of cisterna chyli (CCh) diameter with portal hemodynamics and the influence of TIPS-creation in cirrhotic patients. 93 cirrhotic patients (57 male, mean age 59 years) received CT prior to TIPS-creation. 38/93 additionally underwent post...
