This study tests whether using a special blood pressure measurement in the liver (called HVPG) can help doctors choose the best endoscopic treatment for people with cirrhosis who have had variceal bleeding. If you've had bleeding from varices, this study aims to make your follow-up care more personalized and effective.
This trial studies better ways to use endoscopy and other treatments to stop bleeding in the stomach or esophagus caused by high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension). It may help if you have been diagnosed with portal hypertension and have varices (enlarged veins) in your esophagus or stomach.
This study looks at how to best use endoscopy and other procedures to stop bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus or stomach caused by liver disease. It aims to find the safest and most effective treatment approach for people with this condition.
This study tests whether taking a proton pump inhibitor (a medicine that lowers stomach acid) helps people with liver cirrhosis who have sudden bleeding from enlarged esophagus veins (varices). It may help reduce bleeding and complications by changing stomach/upper digestive tract conditions during this urgent time.
This trial compares two approaches to prevent future bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus (food pipe) in patients with liver cirrhosis who have already had one bleeding episode. You'll receive either an endoscopic procedure with medication or a minimally invasive vein procedure, to see which works better long-term.
This study tests whether treating enlarged veins in the esophagus or stomach (caused by cirrhosis) in a day-care unit is safe and works well. It may help people who need repeat endoscopic treatment for these varices.
