Abstract Aim To investigate clinical efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portal shunt (TIPS) for the treatment of cirrhotic portal hypertension. Methods 71 cases of patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension and esophageal and gastric variceal bleeding hospitalized from January 2014 to June 2017 were enrolled and treated with TIPS. The change of portal pressure and serum biochemical indexes before and after TIPS were compared, and re-hemorrhage rate, ascites incidence, complications, and survival rate were calculated. Results 71 patients (male/female 47/24, aged 29–77 years, average 48.9 ± 9.8 years) with cirrhotic portal hypertension received TIPS. The success rate of TIPS was 93% (66/71). During 1–24 months (mean 12.5 ± 7 months) follow-up of 66 patients, 61 cases survived and 5 cases died. The portal pressure decreased significantly from 40.48 ± 3.15 cmH2O to 23.59 ± 4.41 cmH2O after TIPS (P < 0.05). During the follow-up, the incidence of hepatic encephalopathy was 12.1%, the incidence of re-hemorrhage was 18.2%, and there were 4 cases of stent dysfunction, with 1 case of bare stent and 3 cases of dual stent. Conclusion TIPS is an effective procedure for the treatment of cirrhotic portal hypertension complications, since it can reduce portal pressure and significantly alleviate ascites. Liver function is impaired in short-term after TIPS, but TIPS has no significant effect on liver function in middle-term.
