Figure 1
Figure 1 Survival after transjugular portosystemic shunts. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis censored by liver transplantation. Markers are shown at 3 and 12 mo.
Figure 2
Figure 2 Receiver operating characteristic curves for three-month mortality. We tested the variables right atrium pressure before TIPS (A) and estimated RVSP by echocardiography pre TIPS (B). RVSP: Right ventricular systolic pressure; TIPS: Transjugular portosystemic shunt; RA: Right atrium.

Figure 3 Kaplan-Meier analysis of three-month survival after transjugular portosystemic shunts. A: Stratified by RA pressure > 9 mmHg vs≤ 9 mmHg; B: Stratified by estimated RVSP pressure > 40 mmHg vs≤ 40 mmHg. The separation in survival curves in both panels is particularly noted during the first month. P values are provided by log-rank test. RVSP: Right ventricular systolic pressure; RA: Right atrium.
