Cheaper stents vs. pricier ones: which is better value for liver patients?
NCT ID NCT00593528
First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study looked at two types of stents used in a procedure called TIPS, which creates a bypass in the liver to relieve complications of cirrhosis. One stent is covered with a special material to stay open longer but costs more; the other is a standard bare stent that is cheaper but may need more follow-up procedures. Researchers compared how well each stent worked and their overall cost-effectiveness in 138 patients with liver cirrhosis.
