| Core Tip |
Current knowledge on the technical factors influencing the patency of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) is limited to the published data on TIPS created using bare-metal stents. However, stent grafts have replaced bare metal stents in TIPS creation. In this paper, we rigorously analyzed the effects of various technical factors on patency of TIPS created with stent grafts and also demonstrated how these factors influenced time to recurrence of symptoms and all-cause mortality. Our results challenge the accepted assumption that placement of the hepatic venous end of the stent beyond 1.5 cm of the hepatocaval confluence decreases primary shunt patency rates. |
