In selected patients with cirrhosis and ascites, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt
(TIPS) placement improves control of ascites and may reduce mortality. In this review, we …

Cirrhotic ascites results from sinusoidal hypertension and sodium retention, which is
secondary to a decreased effective arterial blood volume. Transjugular intrahepatic …

Abstract Background and Aim Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is
indicated for the treatment of refractory ascites in cirrhosis. The long‐term outcome of TIPS …

Background: A transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is increasingly being
used for treatment of patients with refractory ascites and functional renal failure. In contrast …

Background & Aims Refractory ascites is the main reason for the implantation of a
transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in liver cirrhosis, but ascites control by …

Objective: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is used increasingly as a
treatment for refractory ascites. The aim of the present study was to determine the prognostic …

Background: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunts (TIPSS) have been used
successfully to reduce portal pressure in the context of variceal haemorrhage. Recent …

Background. The presence of refractory ascites is a common indication for transjugular
intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). Different models have been proposed for the …

Background & Aims: Several randomized controlled trials have compared a transjugular
intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) with large-volume paracentesis in cirrhotic patients …

Background: TIPS is more effective for refractory ascites versus large-volume paracentesis.
At present, however, the survival advantage is not clear within populations of …
