TIPS Stent Graft for Cirrhosis Complications
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have cirrhosis and a complication like variceal bleeding, fluid around the lungs, or ascites that is hard to treat.
- Your liver function must be good enough (measured by MELD score of 13 or less, or Child-Pugh score of 18 or less).
- Your platelet count should be at least 20,000 per microliter.
- You cannot have had certain procedures (like TIPS or surgical shunt) in the past, except if you had RTO more than 8 weeks ago.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a smaller stent (TIPS) can safely prevent rebleeding in people with advanced cirrhosis and shrunken livers. It may offer a less invasive option to control bleeding episodes.
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 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 tests a new version of a device (VIATORR TIPS) that helps lower high blood pressure in the liver for people with cirrhosis. The device is placed to create a small channel that reroutes blood flow and reduces pressure.
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 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).
