Hemodynamic Evaluation of Nonselective \u3b2-Blockers in Patients with Cirrhosis and Refractory Ascites [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND:Nonselective \u3b2-blockers (NSBB) have been associated with increased incidence of paracentesis-induced circulatory dysfunction (PICD) and reduced survival in patients with cirrhosis and refractory ascites.

Improved quality of life in patients with refractory or recidivant ascites after insertion of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts [PDF]
, 2002 Background. We have recently shown that the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is more effective than paracentesis in the treatment of cirrhotic patients with severe ascites and can prolong survival in selected patients.
