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 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 study tests a new way to guide a procedure called TIPS, which helps relieve pressure in the liver caused by fluid buildup or bleeding. The new guidance method may make the procedure safer or more precise.
This study tests a new way to guide a procedure called TIPS, which creates a new path for blood flow in the liver to reduce pressure. The method uses magnetic positioning along with ultrasound to help doctors place the tube more accurately, which may lead to fewer complications.
This study looks at blood clotting in patients with cirrhosis who are getting a TIPS—a tube placed in the liver to help blood flow. The study aims to understand how the procedure affects bleeding and clotting, which could help make it safer for people with liver disease.
This trial compares patients who have a rare liver condition (porto-sinusoidal vascular disease) with those who have cirrhosis, to see how a procedure called TIPS (a shunt placed in the liver to reduce blood pressure) works for complications like bleeding, fluid buildup, or blood clots.
