Stent showdown: can a costlier cover keep liver shunts working longer?
NCT ID NCT00593528
First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study looked at 138 people with cirrhosis who needed a TIPS procedure to relieve complications of high blood pressure in the liver. Researchers compared two types of stents: a newer, more expensive covered stent and a traditional bare stent. The goal was to see if the covered stent stays open longer and is worth the extra cost, even though it may need fewer repeat procedures.
