This study was designed to evaluate the impact of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) on liver transplantation. Historically, the complications of portal hypertension have been temporized with sclerotherapy or surgical portosystemic shunts. In patients whose liver disease progresse

The authors correctly caution that their prognostic score must be externally validated before use in a clinical setting. Hopefully, with further studies and validation, a recommendation can be made on which patients with BCS should proceed beyond TIPS in a timely manner to liver transplantation.
