Background: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is placed important role in the therapy of complications of portal hypertension, there is still no suitable criterion for a reduction in portosystemic gradient (PSG), which can both reduce PSG and maximize clinical results and minimize hepatic encephalopathy (HE).

Aim: To compare the clinical outcomes and incidence of HE after one-third PSG reduction during TIPS in patients with variceal bleeding and refractory ascites.

Methods: A total of 1280 patients with portal-hypertension-related complications of refractory ascites or variceal bleeding who underwent TIPS from January 2016 to January 2019 were analyzed retrospectively.
