Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting (TIPS) is a recently developed radiological procedure that involves the creation of a parenchymal tract between the portal and hepatic veins followed by reinforcement of the tract with a metallic stent. The technical feasibility for this procedure was
Stenosis or occlusion of the transjugular intrahepatic portal-systemic stent shunt may be initiated by aggregation and activation of thrombocytes on the surface of the metallic stent material. To find effective prevention of this event, we conducted a controlled trial administering acetylsalicylic a
