Background: Despite several challenges in clinical management, there has been significant progress in understanding the aetiology, natural history and outcomes of Budd–Chiari syndrome (BCS) treatments. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) using covered stent in management of BCS. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 70 BCS patients who underwent TIPS using covered stents between January 2010 and December 2022 at a single tertiary liver transplant centre. Patients' clinical features, laboratory parameters, and imagine findings were collected before and after TIPS. The primary endpoint was overall survival. Results: TIPS was performed on 70 patients with BCS out of a total of 88 patients. The remaining patients (18) underwent liver transplantation. The mean age was 37.7 ± 11.2 years at time of diagnosis and the majority were female (64.35). The most common symptoms and signs at presentation were abdominal pain, jaundice, ascites, and variceal bleeding. Over a median followup of 76 months, the survival rates at 1, 3, and 5 years were 98.8%, 97.9%, and 97.7%, respectively. Patients who underwent TIPS alone had better survival that patients with BCS who required liver transplantation (LTx) (p = 0.003). Conclusions: In our study TIPS provided a highly effective treatment option for BCS patients. The long-term favourability of the outcome was not impacted by the need for repeated TIPS revision. Use of covered stents was instrumental in reducing shunt dysfunction rates. Prospective and larger studies are needed to further optimize therapeutic strategies in this challenging population.
