Determining the optimal portal pressure gradient after small-diameter TIPS for ascites: a retrospective study
This study revealed that post-TIPS PPG was associated with clinical outcomes in patients with refractory or recurrent ascites undergoing small-diameter TIPS. A post-TIPS PPG of 8-10 mmHg seems to be the optimal range, effectively controlling ascites without significantly increasing the risk of shunt-related hepatic encephalopathy, while also reducing the risk of further decompensation.
