From: Cranial stent position is independently associated with the development of TIPS dysfunction
Schematic presentation of the measured two-dimensional TIPS stent geometry parameters and angles: 1: IVC; 2: liver vein; 3: cranial TIPS end; 4: PV, 5: distal TIPS end 6: distance between cranial TIPS stent end and IVC measured in cm (stent ends that extended into the IVC were noted as ≤ 0 cm); α- and γ-angle: angles measured between a straight line drawn at right angles to the beginning of the covered stent and a second straight line passing through the middle of the PV; β-angle: angle between the hepatic vein and the cranial TIPS stent end continued course; δ-angle: angle measured between the course of the PV and the course of the lower TIPS tract.
