  • Title: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: A promising therapy for recompensation in cirrhotic patients.
    Author: Jin YN, Zhang W.
    Journal: World J Gastroenterol; 2024 Apr 28; 30(16):2285-2286. PubMed ID: 38690019.
    Abstract:
    This 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.
