Abstract:
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) can cause a wide spectrum of neurological or psychological impairment. The high incidence of HE after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) severely restricts its use in the treatment of portal hypertension. The progress of pathogenesis, risk factors and management of post-TIPS HE were mainly reviewed in this article.
