Clinical efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt created with covered stents with different diameters: Results of a randomized controlled trial

Background & Aims The incidence of post-TIPS hepatic encephalopathy (HE) could be reduced by using stents with a small diameter. The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of HE and the clinical efficacy of TIPS created with 8- or 10-mm PTFE-covered stents. Methods Consecutive cirrhotics...
