The main options for secondary prevention of gastrooesophageal variceal bleeding are endoscopic therapy and treatment with propranolol. Creation ofa transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is currently considered a valuable secondary 'rescue' treatment when other therapies fail. Recent data suggest that the use of covered stents markedly increases the efficacy of TIPS, compared with conventional uncovered stents. Therefore, a multicentre randomised trial was designed to compare the effects of TIPS using covered stents with those of endoscopic therapy plus propranolol in patients with a first or second episode ofgastro-oesophageal variceal bleeding. TIPS will be performed in 4 university centres with relevant expertise. The trial will hopefully gain nationwide support, and all centres in The Netherlands are cordially invited to participate.
