Pre-emptive TIPS should be considered in high-risk patients with both acute variceal bleeding and severe alcohol-related hepatitis
[Background & Aims] Severe alcohol-related hepatitis (AH) and acute variceal bleeding (AVB) may occur simultaneously. The impact of a pre-emptive transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (pTIPS) in high-risk patients (patients with Child–Pugh (CP) B and active bleeding or CP C10–13 cirrhosi...

| Sumario: | [Background & Aims] Severe alcohol-related hepatitis (AH) and acute variceal bleeding (AVB) may occur simultaneously. The impact of a pre-emptive transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (pTIPS) in high-risk patients (patients with Child–Pugh (CP) B and active bleeding or CP C10–13 cirrhosis) with AVB and concomitant severe AH is unknown. The objective of the study was to compare the outcomes of severe AH in patients with high-risk AVB treated with pTIPS or endoscopic and drug treatment (Endo+drugs). |
