Long-term outcome of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for portal hypertension in autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease

TIPSS using ePTFE-covered stent is a feasible and effective alternative for surgical portosystemic shunting in children with CHF, also on the long term. It can postpone the need of a liver transplantation but close monitoring remains important for early diagnosis of endotipsitis or stent dysfunction related to stenosis.
