Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) with 10-mm covered stent is associated with lower shunt dysfunction in comparing TIPS with 8-mm covered stent in cirrhotic patients with at least one episode of variceal bleeding.
