Core Tip

Core Tip: Stent fracture is an uncommon yet a potentially serious complication following transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), particularly among the bare metal stent/stent-graft combination. The optimal approach for managing stent fractures has not yet reached a consensus. The embedding of a second stent, surgery, and parallel TIPS are currently the most common methods used for managing stent fractures. Early recognition and prompt intervention are essential in managing stent fractures after TIPS to mitigate potential risks and ensure optimal patient outcomes.
