Brief Summary
Evaluation of non-invasive prognostic parameters in patients receiving transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for complications of portal hypertension. Patients are cared according to the local standardized follow up program. Clinical and laboratory data from standard patient care are evaluated for potential prognostic value.
