This invention relates to a covered stent. Capable of radial collapse and expansion, it comprises a first occlusion portion, a stent middle layer, a second occlusion portion, and a support portion connected sequentially from a first end to a second end, and a covering membrane disposed in the first occlusion portion, the stent middle layer, and the second occlusion portion. The covering membrane serves to isolate blood flow. In the radially expanded state, because the outer diameter of the tubular stent middle layer is smaller than the outer diameters of the first and second occlusion portions, the covered stent is fixed to the blood vessel by the occlusion discs at both ends. The stent middle layer does not need to apply radial support force to the inner wall of the blood vessel for enhanced fixation, effectively avoiding tissue pressure. A support portion is provided at the second end of the second occlusion portion, and the outer diameter of the support portion is larger than the outer diameter of the second occlusion portion. The larger diameter effectively prevents the stent from being displaced towards the first end by blood flow, providing double protection for stent fixation.

A TIPS (Transient Invasive Stent) for flow restriction includes a bare stent with a fixed stent connected to one side. A flow-restricting stent is disposed inside the fixed stent. The flow-restricting stent has a conical structure, with the larger end of the conical stent connected to the inner side of the fixed stent, and the smaller end of the conical stent facing the other end of the fixed stent. A drug-eluting layer is disposed inside the fixed stent. In this application, the flow-restricting stent is a streamlined cone shape with a diameter that gradually decreases from one end to the other. This conical design reduces blood flow turbulence and recirculation, lowers the risk of thrombosis, maintains high stent patency, and more rationally balances the relationship between portal hypertension and hepatic encephalopathy, thus improving patients' quality of life. In some patients, it can more stably maintain the postoperative portal vein pressure gradient within the safe range of 10-12 mmHg. The conical structure achieves a smooth pressure gradient change through a gradually decreasing diameter, which is more in line with the principles of fluid dynamics and has high clinical value in preventing hepatic encephalopathy.
