  		Fig. 2. —Graph of Kaplan-Meier shows survival analysis stratified by Child-Pugh classification before transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. Patients with Child-Pugh classification A or B lived significantly longer than did patients with Child-Pugh classification C (p < 0.01). Dotted line = Child-Pugh C, dashed line = Child-Pugh B, solid line = Child-Pugh A.

  		Fig. 3. —Graph shows Kaplan-Meier survival analysis for patients with different indications. Patients who presented with hemorrhage survived significantly longer than did patients with ascites or hydrothorax (p < 0.01). Dotted line = hemorrhage, dashed line = ascites, solid line = hydrothorax.
