Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement: portal vein puncture guided by 3D/2D image registration of contrast-enhanced multi-detector computed tomography and fluoroscopy

ConclusionTIPS placement  applying registration-based CE-MDCT vessel information for puncture guidance is feasible and safe. It has the potential to improve hepatic vein catherization, portal vein puncture and radiation exposure.
