1️⃣ Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation (Liver Circulation & Portal Hypertension Assessment)
Ensuring precise risk stratification and eligibility assessment for shunt procedures.
✔ Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient (HVPG) Measurement → Gold standard for portal hypertension quantification.
✔ Doppler Ultrasound & CT Angiography → High-resolution vascular mapping & blood flow analysis.
✔ MRI-PDFF & Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) → Accurate fibrosis staging & liver stiffness quantification.
✔ Liver Function & Metabolic Panel → HOMA-IR, HbA1c, ammonia levels, and comprehensive liver profiling.

2️⃣ Interventional Hepatology & Liver Shunt Procedures (Therapeutic TIPS/DIPS Solutions)
State-of-the-art minimally invasive interventions for patients with refractory complications.
✔ Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) → Effective in reducing portal pressure, preventing bleeding, and managing ascites.
✔ Direct Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (DIPS) → Alternative for cases with hepatic vein thrombosis (Budd-Chiari Syndrome).
✔ Precision-Guided Shunt Flow Optimization → Ensuring long-term patency while minimizing hepatic encephalopathy risk.
✔ Ascites & Variceal Bleeding Control Strategies → Reducing hospitalizations and improving survival rates.
