TY - JOUR AU - Magini, Giulia AU - Agazzi, Roberto AU - Fagiuoli, Stefano PY - 2017 TI - The conundrum of covered versus bare stents for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: should we adopt the parachute approach? JF - AME Medical Journal; Vol 2 (August 2017): Ame Medical Journal Y2 - 2017 KW - N2 - Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) are now routinely utilized for the treatment of the complications of cirrhosis-related portal hypertension: indeed TIPS has now a clear indication for active bleeding or to prevent rebleeding after failure of combined medical/endoscopic procedures; it is also indicated for refractory ascites and, at some extent in refractory hydrothorax in cirrhotic patients and type II hepatorenal syndrome.
