“…Recent guidelines suggest that patients admitted to, or under observation in, hospital for UGIB undergo endoscopy within 24 h of presentation and in cases of cirrhotic patients with AVB, endoscopic variceal ligation together with vasoactive drugs and antibiotic therapy are recommended 693–695 . In selected cirrhotic patients with severe AVB at high risk of treatment failure (Child–Turcotte–Pugh class C <14 points or Child–Turcotte–Pugh class B with active bleeding) early TIPSS within 72 h after oesophageal variceal bleeding, results in lower rates of failure to control bleeding and re-bleeding, and significant short-term reductions in mortality than in patients treated without early TIPSS 696–711 …”

“…[693][694][695] In selected cirrhotic patients with severe AVB at high risk of treatment failure (Child-Turcotte-Pugh class C <14 points or Child-Turcotte-Pugh class B with active bleeding) early TIPSS within 72 h after oesophageal variceal bleeding, results in lower rates of failure to control bleeding and re-bleeding, and significant short-term reductions in mortality than in patients treated without early TIPSS. [696][697][698][699][700][701][702][703][704][705][706][707][708][709][710][711] According to a small observational study, emergency TIPSS could be effective as rescue therapy for patients with liver cirrhosis and uncontrolled variceal bleeding. 712 With low certainty of evidence, a Cochrane review found that surgical portosystemic shunts may have benefit over TIPSS for the treatment of refractory or recurrent variceal haemorrhage in people with cirrhotic portal hypertension.…”

“…5,6 However, a relatively large RCT from China was presented at the 2019 International Liver Congress (ILC), Vienna, Austria, and published in abstract form. 7 The key difference between this trial and that of the previous trial of covered stents 6 is the inclusion of patients with Child's B and C cirrhosis without any requirement for active bleeding. Furthermore, active bleeding did not influence the risk of death or transplantation.…”
