One of the important veins as part of the liver anatomy is a hepatic portal vein. Portal hypertension is the increased pressure within this. An increased blood flow or obstruction within the portal vein causes hypertension in the system. If portal hypertension is due to obstruction of the vein as a result of external application of pressure, it can be treated. This outside pressure may be a result of scar tissue in liver disease compressing the vein. This condition can be life-threatening when it results in internal bleeding. For initial treatment modality, a procedure called the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is performed. In this, the physician uses X-rays to put a stent in your liver so that the vein does not collapse. A small passage can be established between the problem vein and adjacent veins in order to divert the blood flow and relieve some pressure. The stent keeps the channel open.
