Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: A promising therapy for recompensation in cirrhotic patients

World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Apr 28;30(16):2285-2286. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i16.2285.ABSTRACTThis is a retrospective study focused on recompensation after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure. The authors confirmed TIPS could be a treatment for recompensation of patients with cirrhosis according to Baveno VII. The paper identified age and post-TIPS portal pressure gradient as independent predictors of recompensation in patients with decompensated cirrhosis after TIPS. These results need to be validated in a larger prospective cohort.PMID:38690019 | PMC:PMC11056914 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i16.2285
