Mortality after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt. A: Forest plot shows that about one-fifth [17.74% (95%CI: 11.34%-24.13%)] of the 198 patients in the 6 studies died within 45 d of undergoing TIPSS. There was no evidence of heterogeneity among studies (P = 0.86); B: Overall mortality after TIPSS was 50.17% (95%CI: 39.63%-60.71%) at a maximum follow-up of 5 years. There was no evidence of heterogeneity among studies (P = 0.81). TIPSS indicates transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt.
