Preclinical Efficacy and Safety Evaluation of a Novel Controlled‐Expansion ePTFE‐Covered TIPS Stent in a Swine Model

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
This preclinical study evaluated a novel controlled‐expansion expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE)‐covered transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) stent in 11 swine, demonstrating 100% technical success, excellent deployability, and durable 6‐month angiographic patency without thrombosis, migration, fracture, or device‐related toxicity.

Recompensation of Cirrhosis: A New Treatment‐Related Disease State

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
This perspective article conceptualizes recompensation of cirrhosis as a distinct treatment‐related disease state rather than mere transient clinical improvement after etiology‐directed therapy, and further proposes a four‐state classification including compensated cirrhosis, stable recompensation, unstable recompensation, and persistent decompensation
