TIPS procedure for people with worsening liver cirrhosis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies the TIPS procedure in people with decompensated (worsening) liver cirrhosis to see how it helps. You may be considered if you need a TIPS procedure and can receive care at the study hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a diagnosis of liver cirrhosis
- Your doctors say you need a TIPS procedure
- You receive care at Hannover Medical School’s GI/liver/endocrine department
- You can and agree to sign informed consent

This study uses MRI and echocardiography to check heart function in people with alcohol-related liver cirrhosis who need a TIPSS procedure. It aims to learn more about how the heart works in these patients.
This trial studies whether a procedure called TIPS (a stent placed in the liver to improve blood flow) can help people with advanced liver disease regain better liver function. It is for patients who have had complications like severe bleeding from the stomach or difficult-to-control fluid buildup (ascites).
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 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 a TIPS stent graft (a tiny mesh tube placed in the liver to relieve pressure) for people with cirrhosis and complications like bleeding or fluid buildup. It aims to see how well it works and if it's safe.
This trial tests if an artificial intelligence (AI) system can help guide a TIPS procedure, which is a treatment to improve blood flow in the liver. If you need this procedure and are in good enough health, you may be able to join.
