[Transjugular intrahepatic portasystemic shunt. A new therapeutic method in portal hypertension].
Over the last three years, 53 patients underwent transjugular portosystemic shunting (TIPS). 49 patients were treated successfully (92.5%). Procedure-related morbidity (intention to treat) was seen in 11 patients (20.8%): encephalopathy (n = 5), sepsis (n = 3), right heart failure (n = 2) and progressive liver failure (n = 1). 30-day mortality rate was
