Rifaximin vs Placebo for the Prevention of Encephalopathy in Patients Treated by TIPS
TIPS has been used for 20 years, as a means of reducing portal pressure in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension related complications. TIPS proved more effective than alternative treatments in controlling or preventing variceal bleeding and refractory ascites. The main drawback of the TIPS procedure is progressive overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE). Three risk factors for post-TIPS OHE have been identified: age over 65 years, history of previous episodes of OHE, and Child-Pugh score equal to or over 10. However, the incidence of post-TIPS OHE in patients fulfilling these criteria remains close to 35 %.
