TIPS Versus Peritoneovenous Shunt in the Treatment of Medically Intractable Ascites
Annals of Surgery, 2004 We undertook a prospective randomized clinical trial comparing TIPS to peritoneovenous (PV) shunts in the treatment of medically intractable ascites to establish relative efficacy and morbidity, and thereby superiority, between these shunts.Thirty-two patients were prospectively randomized to undergo TIPS or peritoneovenous (Denver) shunts.
