“…This is unexpected because greater patency results in increased portosystemic shunting and, therefore, greater anticipated encephalopathy. The same finding was reported in a randomized controlled study of TIPS 29. The reason is not clear, but it might be related to the need for fewer interventions for shunt insufficiency compared with bare stents 29.…”

“…The same finding was reported in a randomized controlled study of TIPS 29. The reason is not clear, but it might be related to the need for fewer interventions for shunt insufficiency compared with bare stents 29. Another potential reason could be improved control of ascites and congestion of the bowel wall with decreased bacterial translocation or even overt bacteremia 30.…”

“…With the development of covered stents, the frequency of TIPS dysfunctions has been reduced [17]. However, the incidence of hyperplastic stenosis is still one of TIPS’ main shortcomings [18].…”

“…In case of treatment failure or with recurrent bleeding, TIPS may be considered as a rescue therapy with success rate of up to 90% [2,4]. TIPS significantly reduces the risk of rebleeding, but it is associated with higher prevalence of hepatic encephalopathy in comparison to medical or endoscopic treatment [4,5]. …”
