Clinical outcomes of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt with PTFE-covered stents after liver transplantation and technical results in split and whole liver graft recipients.

• TIPS creation using PTFE-covered stents represents a viable option to treat complications of PH in LT recipients. • TIPS creation in LT SG recipients appears to be safe and feasible as in WG. • Results from this study may help to refine the management of LT patients with recurrent portal hypertensive complications encouraging physicians to consider TIPS creation as a treatment option in both SG and WG recipients.
