EASL Clinical Practice Guidelines on TIPS

European Association for the Study of the Liver. J Hepatol. 2025 Jul.

Abstract

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement is a well-established procedure for managing complications of portal hypertension. In recent years, the field of TIPS has seen rapid advances, particularly in technical approaches, prognostic modelling, and an expanding range of indications. The aim of these EASL guidelines is to comprehensively address all aspects of TIPS in patients with cirrhosis. Other related topics, such as the use of TIPS in surgical settings and in vascular liver disorders, are covered in separate dedicated clinical practice guidelines.

Keywords: Ascites; Cirrhosis; Portal hypertension; TIPS; Variceal bleeding.
