Long-term follow-up of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) with stent-graft.

Purpose: We aimed to retrospectively evaluate the long-term clinical and patency results after the placement of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) using stent-graft. Many studies show the clinical results and the patency follow-up of TIPS with stent-graft in the short and medium term. However, few studies show long-term results.
