OBJECTIVE. Our purpose was to evaluate the role of sonography in the early follow-up of patients with a covered transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).

CONCLUSION. Routine baseline Doppler sonography should occur 7–14 days after shunt placement unless malfunction or procedural complications are suspected.

Keywords: color Doppler sonography • interventional radiology • liver disease • stents
