Endoscopic treatment (ET) is frequently used to prevent variceal rebleeding but this still occurs in about 50% of patients. Recently, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has been compared with ET in several trials. Using a meta-analysis, we evaluated randomized trials comparing TIPS

The aim of this study was to compare transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent-shunt (TIPSS) with variceal band ligation (VBL) in the secondary prophylaxis of esophageal variceal hemorrhage in patients with cirrhosis. Fifty-eight patients with cirrhosis who presented with the first episode of es

For the prevention of recurrent esophageal variceal bleeding, studies show that patients treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) have lower rebleeding rates compared with endoscopic therapy. However, TIPS is associated with higher rates of portosystemic encephalopathy and p
