ABSTRACT
Gastroesophageal variceal bleeding is the life-threating complication of cirrhotic portal hypertension, and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an effective therapy for portal hypertension-related complications. TIPS can be used for the prevention of first-time bleeding in patients with recurrent or intractable ascites. TIPS should be performed as early as possible for patients at a high risk of acute variceal bleeding (Child-Pugh class C 7 points with active bleeding on endoscopy or hepatic venous pressure > 20 mmHg). TIPS is an effective salvage therapy for acute variceal bleeding with failure after standard treatment, and is also a second-line option for preventing variceal rebleeding.
