Resumen en inglés The purpose of this study was to assess the technical and clinical outcomes of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) reduction for the management of TIPS-induced acute liver decompensation. Between August 2000 and November 2013, 347 patients underwent a TIPS procedure in the authors’ institution; 21/347 (6%) developed post-TIPS acute liver decompensation which was managed using a percutaneous shunt reduction technique. Patient demographics, laboratory tests before and after initial TIPS and TIPS reduction, procedural data and clinical follow-up data were analysed. Results. Results. Results. Twenty-one patients (mean age 63 years) who underwent an initial TIPS procedure for variceal bleeding (n = 7; 33%) or refractory ascites (n = 14; 67%) successfully underwent shunt reduction ten days (3-34 days) after the initial TIPS procedure. The portosystemic pressure gradient (PSPG) increased from 8 (3-17) mmHg before reduction to 12 (7-23) mmHg after shunt reduction. Survival at one and six months follow-up was 15 (71%) and 11 patients (52%), respectively. The international normalised ratio (INR) (1.7 vs. 1.5; p = 0.044) was significantly different after TIPS reduction in the non-survival group compared to the survival group. In conclusion, TIPS reduction for the management of TIPS-induced acute liver decompensation is technically feasible and is associated with a one and six-month mortality rate of 29% and 48%, respectively. Higher post-TIPS-reduction INR values may be associated with higher risk of early mortality
