This study investigates the experiences of patients who have undergone a de novo TIPS procedure. A TIPS procedure, or Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt, is a medical procedure that creates a channel in the liver to improve blood flow. This study aims to understand how patients experience this procedure and the process of providing informed consent (IC).

Participants in the study will be asked about their experiences with informed consent and the TIPS procedure. The study will involve completing assessments such as the Newest Vital Sign (NVS), which helps evaluate health literacy. Participants will provide insights into their understanding and feelings about the TIPS procedure.

  • Who can participate: Adults aged 18 and older who have undergone a de novo TIPS procedure, chemoembolization, or radioembolization in the last three months can participate. Participants must have signed the consent form themselves and be able to read, write, and speak English. They also need to agree to complete the NVS assessment.
  • Study details: Participants will be asked to share their experiences with the TIPS procedure and the informed consent process. They will complete the Newest Vital Sign (NVS) assessment, which measures health literacy.
