  6. Evidence on the safety of long-term tunnelled peritoneal drainage catheter insertion for refractory ascites in cirrhosis is limited but shows well-recognised complications. Evidence on the efficacy is limited in quantity and quality. Therefore, this procedure should only be used with special arrangements for clinical governance, consent, and audit or research. Find out what special arrangements mean on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.

  9. Transvenous obliteration for gastric varices (IPG751)

    Evidence-based recommendations on transvenous obliteration for gastric varices. This involves inserting a tube with a tiny balloon on the end into a vein in the thigh or neck. The tube is then passed into the enlarged vein in the stomach (gastric varix) and the balloon is inflated to stop blood flowing into the vein. The vein is then blocked using one of several techniques. The aim is to reduce the risk of bleeding.
