Sumario:Shunt dysfunction is a major complication of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). Ultrasonography is a preferred method of shunt follow-up after TIPS, but some misjudgments can occur in cases of shunt dysfunction due to peculiarities of the VIATORR stent. Here we report one case and suggest that the first ultrasound evaluation for patients who received TIPS procedure with VIATORR stent should be performed one month after the procedure.
