Real-World Experience of Home Continuous Terlipressin Infusion for Complications of Portal Hypertension
This study demonstrates the safety of home CTI in a real-world cohort of over 100 well-selected transplant-eligible patients with decompensated cirrhosis. It confirms previous findings that long-term CTI is associated with increased HGS and reduced paracentesis, in addition to its established benefit on renal function. These data provide strong clinical rationale for further prospective randomized trials to investigate the use of CTI as a bridge to liver transplant.
