Study population: Case-control study using the patients in our center receiving Viatorr CX (n=40), using a comparison ration 1:1:1 to Viatorr and bare metal stents (all available data from our center). Thereby, we will choose 20 patients receiving Viatorr CX and the assessement of the width of the stent as outlined in the JVIR-paper published this year. The Viatorr and BMS controls with similar age, gender, Child, MELD and indication for TIPS. We will investigate a total 125 patients with the primary composite-endpoint HE/readmission, and secondary endpoints will be liver injury, cardiac function, response to TIPS and the passive expansion of the stents in real life.

Who may be able to join

The Viatorr and BMS controls with similar age, gender, Child, MELD and indication for TIPS.

A total of 125 patients with the primary composite-endpoint HE/readmission will be investigated Secondary endpoints are liver injury, cardiac function, response to TIPS and the passive expansion of the stents in real life.

    Number of Episodes of overt HE (West Haven Criteria > Grad I)

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Liver injury

    Increase in liver function tests

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Response to TIPS

    grade of ascites after TIPS

    Measured: 12 months
