Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of patients after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement.
A: In patients with initial ascites as indication for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent (TIPS), survival is significantly shorter than that in patients with variceal bleeding [refractory ascites (RA) vs variceal bleeding (VB), log rank test P = 0.009]; B: In patients with occluded stent at first fluorographic control, survival is significantly shorter than that in patients with open stent (occluded vs open, log rank test P = 0.027).
