Background
Pre‐emptive transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (pTIPSS) should be considered within 72 hours following acute oesophageal variceal bleeding. However, recent studies highlight the difficulty in providing pTIPSS within this narrow timeframe. Delaying pTIPSS beyond 72 hours has not been studied.
Aim
To determine if the time taken to perform pTIPSS alters patient outcome.
Method
Patients referred to 4 UK tertiary centres for pTIPSS between 01 January 2010 and 31 December 2018 were included. Time from endoscopy to pTIPSS was recorded and pre‐defined clinically relevant outcomes were observed relative to two groups: early pTIPSS ( |
