Abstract

Sixty-eight cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension underwent transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). The mean follow-up after TIPS was 299 ± 243 days. Using the Child-Pugh score, 11 patients were class A, 39 class B and 18 class C. Indications for TIPS were acute or recurrent variceal bleeding in 67 patients and intractable ascites in the remaining patient. Following TIPS, the mean portosystemic gradient (PSG) dropped from 25 ± 5 to 10 ± 4 mmHg. Non procedure-related bleeding complications occurred. Hepatic encephalopathy developed or worsened in 23/68 patients (34%). The incidence of hepatic encephalopathy was greater in patients achieving a reduction in PSG ≥ 50% of the pre-TIPS value. Recurrent hemorrhage occurred in 15 patients (22%); only in 7 of them (46%) it was due to gastric varices (2 cases) or portal hypertensive gastropathy (5 cases). The incidence of recurrent bleeding was lower in patients with a final PSG
