I'm so sorry you are facing end stage liver disease. Confused thinking goes with the territory with such a condition, unfortunately, due to ammonia levels in the blood being too high & toxic. You can read all about the TIPS surgical procedure here:

I would think you'd be better off trying the TIPs procedure which may help you, ultimately. My husband just had a liver transplant at the Mayo Clinic in AZ in April, after waiting a year with cirrhosis and liver cancer. He's doing very well in recovery, thankfully, almost 3 months post transplant. Are you not a candidate for transplant? Not everyone is, I know.

Wishing you the best of luck with a very difficult situation.
