Abstract:
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has been widely used in the treatment of the complications of portal hypertension,and in recent years,with a deepened understanding of TIPS,covered stents have been further developed and applied in clinical practice,among which a special stent for TIPS,Viatorr covered stent,has become a focus of attention.This article reviews the application and effect of Viatorr stent and points out that Viatorr stent can establish intrahepatic shunt and thus significantly improve shunt patency rate.Meanwhile,it can reduce the risk of repeated intervention and rebleeding without increasing the incidence rate of hepatic encephalopathy and improve patients'quality of life.
