The purpose of this multicenter, randomized controlled trial is to compare the efficacy of TIPS with that of endoscopic sclerotherapy in the prevention of variceal rebleeding in cirrhosis. Eighty-one cirrhotic patients, with endoscopically proven variceal bleeding, were randomized to either TIPS (38 patients) or endoscopic sclerotherapy (43 patients). Randomization was stratified according to the following: if bleeding occurred &lt; 1 week (stratum I); if bleeding occurred 1 to 6 weeks (stratum II); and if bleeding occurred 6 weeks to 6 months (stratum III) before enrollment. Follow-up included clinical, biochemical, Doppler Ultrasound, and endoscopic examinations every 6 months. During a mean follow-up of 17.7 months, 51% of the patients treated with sclerotherapy and 24% of those treated with TIPS rebled (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = .011). Mortality was 19% in sclerotherapy patients and 24% in TIPS patients <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">(P)<\/jats:italic>= .50). Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) developed in 26% and 55%, respectively (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>= .006). A separate analysis of the three strata showed that TIPS was significantly more effective than sclerotherapy (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = .026) in preventing rebleeding only in stratum I patients. TIPS is significantly better than sclerotherapy in preventing rebleeding only when it is performed shortly after a variceal bleed; however, TIPS does not improve survival and is associated with a significantly higher incidence of HE. The overall performance of TIPS does not seem to justify the adoption of this technique as a first-choice treatment to prevent rebleeding from esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hep.510270109","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,7,27]],"date-time":"2004-07-27T23:42:02Z","timestamp":1090971722000},"page":"48-53","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":144,"title":["Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt versus endoscopic sclerotherapy for the prevention of variceal bleeding in cirrhosis: A randomized multicenter trial"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Manuela","family":"Merli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Salerno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Oliviero","family":"Riggio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"de Franchis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Franco","family":"Fiaccadori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Patrizia","family":"Meddi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Massimo","family":"Primignani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Giovanni","family":"Pedretti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Alessandra","family":"Maggi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Livio","family":"Capocaccia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Lovaria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ugo","family":"Ugolotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Filippo","family":"Salvatori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Bezzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Plinio","family":"Rossi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"BIB1","first-page":"72","volume-title":"Portal Hypertension, Pathophysiology and Treatment","author":"Pagliaro","year":"1994","unstructured":"et al.
