[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] Problems with TIPS in CVID with liver disease?

[CIS-PIDD]

Hi,

We saw a  CVID  patent yesterday with nodular regenerative  hyperplasia  of the liver with portal hypertension and ascites—  no bleed but had varices banded.
Had 2 L fluid removed a few days before.  (TIPS) procedure  (transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt) is being considered.

We have only one CVID patient with a TIPS procedure  and she has been doing well overall but with one episode of encephalopathy in about 6 or more years.

Anyone have other experiences, positive or negative?
