Abstract
Portal hypertension (PH) is one of the major complications of cirrhosis. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a primary therapeutic modality for complications of portal hypertension, including variceal bleeding and refractory ascites, by establishing an intrahepatic channel between the hepatic vein and the portal vein. TIPS also serves as a bridging therapy for patients with decompensated cirrhosis awaiting liver transplantation. In 2019, the Chinese College of Interventionalists (CCI) issued the Chinese Clinical Practice Guidelines for TIPS in portal hypertension, which have played an important role in standardizing TIPS practice in China. With advances in TIPS techniques, evolving treatment concepts, and the emergence of new high-level evidence, the CCI has revised and updated these guidelines. This updated clinical practice guideline was developed by more than 30 Chinese experts in the field of TIPS application, including specialists in interventional radiology, hepatobiliary surgery, hepatology, and gastroenterology. The recommendations are based on latest evidence, supplemented by relevant domestic expert consensuses and high-quality clinical studies. This guideline provides up-to-date recommendations for TIPS treatment of portal hypertension, with the aim of improving the quality of TIPS clinical practice in China.
