A stent used in reducing a diameter of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for secondary restriction of flow through a TIPS tract is disclosed. In one example approach, a reducing stent comprises a tube-shaped framework with a tubular material affixed around an outer surface of the framework and extending through the interior of the framework to define a reducing passage in the interior of the framework. In another example approach, a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt system including a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and a reducing stent mounted within an interior of the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt is disclosed.
