The hypothesis is that the AlfapumpĀ® strategy would be more effective in terms of QALYs generated , and that the cost of AlfapumpĀ® device and its implantation will be totally or partially offset by the reduction in the number of evacuating parentheses performed and the reduction in the number of complications in patients with refractory ascites awaiting liver transplantation or not. On the other hand, given the difference in the clinical profiles of these two populations (whether or not they are awaiting transplantation), these two populations will be study separately Evaluation of the medical-economic impact at 1 year of the two therapeutic strategies: implantation of AlfapumpĀ® versus repeated evacuating paracentesis in cirrhotic patients with refractory ascites without scheduled liver transplantation.
