Abstract

Background: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a minimally invasive therapeutic option to treat complications of portal hypertension. TIPS can provide long-term symptom control and prolong transplant-free survival. Recently, novel endovascular techniques, improved TIPS stent technology, and extended indications have emerged, prompting updates to international guidelines. It is unclear whether these updates are reflected in current clinical practice across TIPS centres in Australia. Moreover, there is a paucity of real-life data regarding TIPS indications, patient selection, and outcomes. Here, we investigated existing practices and benchmarked the current landscape of TIPS provision in Australia against international guidelines to assess the need for a national clinical practice guideline.
