VIATORR® TIPS Study Evaluating 6-10mm Diameters (VIATIPS)
Sponsor: W.L.Gore & Associates
Summary
This Registry will look at patients being treated with a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure for portal hypertension. The purpose of this Registry is to collect data on the safety and performance of the GORE® VIATORR® TIPS Endoprosthesis with Controlled Expansion (6-10mm) for 2 years in real world setting. Additionally, data will be collected on the safety and performance of the GORE TIPS Set when utilized.

GORE® VIATORR® TIPS Endoprosthesis with Controlled Expansion (6-10mm)
The GORE® VIATORR® TIPS Endoprosthesis with Controlled Expansion (6-10mm) was developed and approved for the treatment of portal hypertension and its complications such as bleeding from enlarged or swollen veins (variceal bleeding) and abnormal build-up of fluid in the abdomen that does not respond to therapy (ascites which recurs despite conventional treatment). The Registry Device is a small tube (stent) that creates a pathway for blood flow. It consists of a metal frame (nitinol), covered with a thin, flexible material called expandable polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE).
