Prognostic evaluation of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in treatment of cirrhotic portal hypertension / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an important method for the treatment of cirrhotic portal hypertension; however, its clinical application is limited by postoperative complications such as liver failure and hepatic encephalopathy. This article summarizes and analyzes the research advances in the clinical value of serological markers, clinical indices, and scoring systems in prognostic evaluation of TIPS. Indices can be selected or comprehensive evaluation can be performed based on clinical situations, in order to improve patients’ postoperative survival rate.
