Clip-assisted glue injection for stomach varices
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to treat enlarged veins in the stomach (gastric varices) using a small clip and a medical glue injection. It is for people with liver cirrhosis who have these veins and are at risk of bleeding or have bled before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two treatments for bleeding stomach varices (swollen veins) in people with cirrhosis. One uses a special scope with ultrasound to place coils and glue, while the other uses glue alone. The goal is to find which works better to stop bleeding.
This trial tests two procedures to prevent re-bleeding from enlarged veins in the stomach (gastric varices) in people with liver cirrhosis. Both procedures aim to block off the abnormal veins to reduce the risk of another bleeding episode.
This study compares two ways to stop bleeding from enlarged veins in the stomach (called gastric varices). One uses a type of medical glue, the other uses a sponge-like material, both applied during an endoscopic procedure. The goal is to prevent future bleeding and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a removable titanium clip to stop bleeding from enlarged veins in the stomach caused by cirrhosis. It may be an option for patients who are stable enough for this procedure.
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 looks at how endoscopic treatment for enlarged veins in the esophagus (from liver disease) affects certain blood pressure readings. If you have cirrhosis and need treatment to prevent bleeding from these veins, you may be able to join.
