Core Tip Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a common complication after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) that affects the quality of life of patients and their families. However, controversy exists regarding about whether TIPS patients need medication to prevent and reduce HE occurrence after surgery. We found through a meta-analysis that the HE incidence after TIPS surgery is relatively high and that drug prevention can significantly reduce HE occurrence. Moreover, current prevention strategies are summarized to provide guidance for future clinical research.
