There is a lack of effective treatment other than liver transplantation. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an effective tool to prolong the survival of patients with advanced liver disease and is mainly used to treat portal hypertension and ascites because it can effectively reduce portal pressure. Studies on the treatment of both of these complications with TIPS are limited and deserve further study because the therapeutic effects of TIPS have the potential to improve the prognosis of severe liver disease.
