Abstract:
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has become an effective method for the treatment of portal hypertension. Although the use of polytetrafluoroethylene covered stents enhances shunt patency, hepatic encephalopathy remains a significant issue after TIPS. This article reviews the epidemiology, pathogenesis, pathogenic factors, and treatment of post-TIPS hepatic encephalopathy, so as to improve the understanding and awareness of this issue.
