- Abstract
A transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is increasingly being used for treatment of patients with refractory ascites and functional renal failure. In contrast, organic renal disease is commonly considered a relative contraindication for TIPS placement. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the effects of TIPS in patients with refractory ascites and organic or functional renal impairment.
