Preventing bleeding in cirrhosis with vein clot
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether placing a small tube (TIPS) at the time of variceal bleeding can prevent future bleeding in people with cirrhosis and a large clot in the liver's main vein. It aims to see if early TIPS treatment is better than standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cirrhosis (liver scarring) confirmed by a doctor.
- You are in the hospital for active bleeding from enlarged veins in your esophagus or stomach.
- A scan shows a blood clot in the main vein of your liver that blocks at least half of it.

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 trial tests if placing a TIPS early (before another bleed happens) helps people with cirrhosis who have just had a bleed from stomach varices. It aims to prevent rebleeding and improve outcomes.
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.
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 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.
