Program to monitor you after TIPS with noninvasive checks
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at a follow-up and monitoring program after TIPS (a procedure to improve blood flow in the liver). It is meant to make sure the TIPS is working and to guide follow-up without relying on invasive testing when possible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a TIPS procedure placed as recommended by the usual guidelines
- You are able to be considered for TIPS (no known reasons that make TIPS unsafe for you)
- Your care team does not consider TIPS to be contraindicated for you

This study is a registry, meaning it collects health information to better understand people who have a TIPS procedure for high pressure in the liver’s blood vessels. It may help doctors improve how TIPS is used and monitored over time.
This trial tests a new method using electromagnetic positioning to help guide ultrasound during a TIPS procedure, which creates a connection between two blood vessels in the liver to reduce pressure. It may help people with various liver-related conditions who need this procedure.
This is a registry study that collects information from people who need a procedure called TIPS for portal hypertension. It may help doctors better understand outcomes and care for both cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic causes of portal hypertension.
This trial tests a special stent to treat high blood pressure in the liver caused by cirrhosis. It may help patients who need a procedure called TIPS to improve blood flow.
This trial tests a new type of stent placed inside the liver to lower high blood pressure in the portal vein (a major vein that carries blood to the liver). It is aimed at people with cirrhosis who have serious complications like bleeding in the esophagus or stomach, or fluid buildup in the belly that does not go away. The study will see how safe and effective this stent is.
This pilot study is testing a new way to guide a TIPS procedure using a special fiber-optic navigation system, which may make the shunt placement more precise for patients with serious liver problems.
