| Core Tip |
This systematic review and meta-analysis of one randomised trial and four non-randomised studies compared 6-mm and 8-mm covered stents for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. A 6-mm effective diameter was associated with a lower risk of hepatic encephalopathy, with no detectable difference in portal-pressure-gradient target achievement, survival or shunt dysfunction, and a possible increase in variceal rebleeding. Because the certainty of evidence was low to very low, these findings are hypothesis-generating and should not yet guide the choice of stent diameter in clinical practice. |
