GORE® VIATORR® TIPS Endoprosthesis with Controlled Expansion

Consider TIPS in Treating Portal Hypertension

Earlier TIPS procedure with controlled expansion endoprosthesis

GORE® VIATORR® TIPS Endoprosthesis with Controlled Expansion combines the legacy of proven patency1 with diameter control to reach a targeted portal pressure gradient. The innovations include:

  • Control the diameter — Designed to reach a targeted portal pressure gradient
  • Lasting diameter control* — Size and set the diameter to stay
  • Engineered for flexibility — Conformability to tortuous anatomy

Long-term experience with the GORE® VIATORR® Devices

For your patients with portal hypertension, the GORE® VIATORR® TIPS Endoprosthesis maintains significantly increased patency compared to bare metal stent alternatives. Highly effective in lowering portal pressure gradients in patients with refractory ascites and variceal bleeding, the GORE® VIATORR® TIPS Endoprosthesis offers an effective treatment option for patients over a longer period of time.† The GORE® VIATORR® TIPS Endoprosthesis with Controlled Expansion allows doctors to adjust the diameter of the device during implantation based on the patient’s needs and portal pressure.

Two clinical studies were conducted in the United States to evaluate the GORE® VIATORR® TIPS Endoprosthesis and the BOSTON SCIENTIFIC WALLSTENT Endoprosthesis Stent for use in de novo TIPS and TIPS revision. These studies demonstrated that primary patency of the GORE® VIATORR® Device group was superior to that of the BOSTON SCIENTIFIC WALLSTENT Device group (P < .001) at six months, with no significant differences in mortality or risk of encephalopathy.†
