CRD SUMMARY:

This review compared transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) with large volume paracentesis (LVP) for refractory ascites. The authors concluded that TIPS reduces ascites compared with LVP, but increases encephalopathy and does not improve survival. The lack of detail on the review methods and the lack of a quality assessment make it difficult to assess the reliability of the authors' conclusions.
