Blood clot control during TIPS in people with cirrhosis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how to manage blood clotting around the time of a TIPS procedure in adults with cirrhosis, to see if a safer clotting strategy helps. It may be useful if you are having TIPS for a specific complication of liver disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This Phase 4 study looks at how clotting measurements relate to bleeding risk in people with liver cirrhosis who need a planned liver procedure. The study may help doctors understand what coagulation results mean when doing these procedures safely.
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 study tests whether placing a small tube (called a TIPS) early in the liver can help people with cirrhosis who have their first episode of moderate to severe belly fluid buildup. The goal is to see if this early procedure improves outcomes compared to standard care.
This trial compares a surgery called LSD with a procedure called TIPS to see which is better at preventing rebleeding in people with liver cirrhosis and an enlarged spleen. It may help if you have had bleeding from veins in your esophagus or stomach that came back after treatment.
This trial tests a modified stent placement technique during TIPS (a procedure to lower blood pressure in the liver) to see if it helps prevent confusion and memory problems that can happen afterward.
This trial tests a slightly smaller TIPS stent (underdilated) against the standard size to see which is better at preventing another variceal bleed in people with cirrhosis and liver scarring. It aims to find the safest way to lower pressure in the veins while reducing side effects.
