Core Tip

Core Tip: This study evaluates the impact of portal pressure gradient (PPG) reduction following transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) on clinical outcomes in portal hypertension patients. Findings reveal that a significant PPG reduction (> 50%) post-TIPS is linked to decreased risks of rebleeding, shunt dysfunction, hepatocellular carcinoma, and mortality. However, it also raises the risk of hepatic encephalopathy and liver failure. Additionally, portal vein diameter influences the degree of PPG reduction. These insights highlight the need for personalized management strategies to optimize TIPS outcomes, balancing benefits and potential risks for improved patient prognosis.
