Core Tip	This study compares intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) with conventional techniques for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation. IVUS reduces procedure time, radiation exposure, and needle passes while enhancing precision. Despite higher initial costs, IVUS offers long-term savings through faster procedures and reduced complications. Emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence integration and miniaturized devices, promise to further improve IVUS-guided TIPS, making it a potentially cost-effective and universally applicable method in the future.
