Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: Where are we?
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the technical/hemodynamic success, complications, and biochemical/ hematologic consequences of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) created with 10-mm bare stents in our patients.Data of 27 cirrhotic patients (18 men and 9 women; mean age, 39.7±18.7 years) with a median MELD score 14 (range 7-31)

Shunt dysfunction patterns after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt creation using a combination of a generic stent-graft and bare-stents. [PDF]
Even though transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) using Fluency Stent-grafts provides good shunt patency rates, shunt dysfunction is a great concern after TIPS creation, occurring in up to 20% of cases within one year.
