"return of antegrade portal branch flow previously retrograde towards TIPS."

Acronyms
warning

"Non-invasive investigations are usually effective at assessing the patency and flow of the TIPS shunt 5. In case of inconclusive results after US or cross-sectional imaging and in the appropriate clinical settings (e.g. suspicion of thrombosis or significant in-stent stenosis in patient with recurrent bleeding after TIPS) an invasive interrogation of the tract might be necessary."

Line 26:158 · 'US' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

Semicolons
suggestion

"when using colour Doppler ultrasound for evaluation, remember to take angle correction into account to avoid false positives; if there is an area of the TIPS without colour flow, make sure the TIPS is not approaching 90° relative to the transducer"
