The article presents the first experience of the complicated portal hypertension syndrome treatment by transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent (TIPS). 3 patients with Class B and C (Child-Turcotte-Pugh classification) were successfully operated. Patients were discharged from the hospital in 4-7 days. Mortality was 33% (1 patient) due to decompensation of liver cell failure. The other two patients were followed for up to 2 months. Their condition is satisfactory, shunts are passable. Further expansion of indications for TIPS is expected.

Key words: liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension syndrome, bleeding from varices of the esophagus and stomach, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent — TIPS, stent-graft.
