EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF GASTROENTEROLOGY & HEPATOLOGY. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement before abdominal intervention in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension: lessons from a pilot study

Fares, Nadim; Robic, Marie-Angèle; Péron, Jean-Marie; Muscari, Fabrice; Otal, Philippe; Suc, Bertrand; Vinel, Jean-Pierre; Bureau, Christophe

Background: Abdominal interventions are usually contraindicated in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension because of increased morbidity and mortality. Decreasing portal pressure with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) may improve patient outcomes. We report our experience with patients treated by neoadjuvant TIPS to identify those who would most benefit from this two-step procedure.
