Abstrakt: Objectives: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a catheter-based, minimally invasive procedure to reduce portal hypertension. The aim of the study was to investigate dysfunction and mortality after TIPS and to identify factors associated with these events. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 834 patients undergoing TIPS implantation in a single center from 1993–2018 was performed. Cumulative incidence curves were estimated, and frailty models were used to assess associations between potentially influential variables and time to dysfunction or death. Results: 1-, 2-, and 5-year mortality rates were 20.9% (confidence interval (CI) 17.7–24.1), 22.5% (CI 19.1–25.8), and 25.0% (CI: 21.1–28.8), 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year dysfunction rates were 28.4% (CI 24.6–32.3), 38.9% (CI 34.5–43.3), and 52.4% (CI 47.2–57.6). The use of covered stents is a protective factor regarding TIPS dysfunction (hazard ratio (HR) 0.47, CI 0.33–0.68) but does not play a major role in survival (HR 0.95, CI 0.58–1.56). Risk factors for mortality are rather TIPS in an emergency setting (HR 2.78, CI 1.19–6.50), a previous TIPS dysfunction (HR 2.43, CI 1.28–4.62), and an increased Freiburg score (HR 1.45, CI 0.93–2.28). Conclusion: The use of covered stents is an important protective factor regarding TIPS dysfunction. Whereas previous TIPS dysfunction, emergency TIPS implantation, and an elevated Freiburg score are associated with increased mortality. Awareness of risk factors could contribute to a better selection of patients who may benefit from a TIPS procedure and improve clinical follow-up with regard to early detection of thrombosis/stenosis. Critical relevance statement: The use of covered stents reduces the risk of dysfunction after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). TIPS dysfunction, emergency TIPS placement, and a high Freiburg score are linked to higher mortality rates in TIPS patients. Key Points: The risk of dysfunction is higher for uncovered stents compared to covered stents. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt dysfunction increases the risk of instantaneous death after the intervention. A higher Freiburg score increases the rate of death after the intervention. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt implantations in emergency settings reduce survival rates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
