CRD SUMMARY:

This review assessed the use of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) versus paracentesis in the treatment of cirrhotic patients with refractory ascites. The authors concluded that the improved ability of TIPS to control ascites does not result in improved survival, but in an increased incidence of encephalopathy. The conclusions of this generally good quality systematic review are likely to be reliable.
