Recently, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS) is introduced into clinical practice. However, the beneficial effects of TIPS compared to ET on cirrhotic patients is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of TIPS with those of the most frequently used ET for prevention of variceal rebleeding(VRB) in liver cirrhosis. The PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched from inception to February 2017. The primary study outcomes included the incidence of VRB, all-cause mortality, bleeding-related death, and the incidence of post-treatment hepatic encephalopathy(PTE). The odds ratios(ORs) with 95% confidence intervals(CI) were pooled for dichotomous variables. Subgroup analyses were performed. Twenty-four studies were eligible and they included 1120 subjects treated with TIPS and 1065 subjects treated with ET. Although there was no significant difference in survival and PTE, TIPS was superior to ET in decreasing the incidence of VRB(OR=0.27; 95% CI, 0.19–0.39, P〈0.00001), and decreasing the incidence of bleeding-related death(OR=0.21; 95% CI, 0.13–0.32, P〈0.00001). Subgroup analysis found a lower mortality(OR=0.48; 95% CI, 0.23–0.97; P=0.04) without any increased incidence of PTE(OR=1.37; 95% CI, 0.75–2.50; P=0.31) in the studies of a greater proportion(≥40%) of patients with Child-Pugh class C cirrhosis receiving TIPS, and TIPS with covered stent did not increase the risk of PTE compared to ET(OR=1.52, 95% CI =0.82–2.80, P=0.18). It was concluded that TIPS with covered stent might be considered the preferred choice of therapy in patients with severe liver disease for secondary prophylaxis.展开更多
