Are shunts effective in decompensated cirrhosis?

Cirrhosis shunt in the decompensated stage is very effective, jugular vein intrahepatic portal stent shunt is the most effective treatment for severe cirrhosis complications, but the treatment effect varies due to individual differences. If cirrhosis reaches the decompensated stage, liver function will further deteriorate, liver synthesis function will be reduced, coagulation factors will be reduced, bleeding or anemia will occur, and there will be esophagogastric fundal varices. Cirrhosis shunt will place a stent between the portal vein and hepatic vein to reduce portal hypertension and to achieve the therapeutic effect. However, due to individual differences, the severity of cirrhosis is different, some patients also have local bleeding during the treatment, local edema, internal circulation disorders and impaired consciousness, etc. After the surgery, drink more water and rest, avoid spicy and stimulating food, exercise according to their own conditions, enhance their immunity, and regular checkups, to avoid recurrence of the disease.
