Abstract:
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has been developed for two decades in order to treat portal hypertension accompanying with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage and refractory ascites.TIPS may cause the development of hepatic encephalopathy (HE).TIPS induces portalsystemic shunt and leads to hemodynamics chaos. Hepatic encephalopathy belongs to the complications of the portal hypertension. There are many possible predictors of the post-TIPS HE. The relationship between TIPS and HE was reviewed.
