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.
Who can take part
- You have liver cirrhosis (scarring of the liver).
- An endoscopy (a camera down your throat) shows you have certain types of stomach varices.
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your varices are at high risk of bleeding or you have had a previous bleed from them.
- You have not had a liver transplant or certain past procedures for portal hypertension.

This study compares two treatments for enlarged veins in the stomach (gastric varices) that have bled or are bleeding: a medical glue (cyanoacrylate) and a absorbable sponge used during an endoscope procedure. If you have had bleeding from gastric varices, this trial may help determine which treatment works better for preventing future bleeding.
This study tests whether a new, less invasive procedure using an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) to inject glue or coils into stomach veins works as well as an older procedure (BRTO, which blocks the shunt from outside) to prevent future bleeding from stomach varices in people with cirrhosis.
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.
This trial compares two endoscopic (camera-guided) procedures to prevent or treat bleeding from enlarged veins in the stomach. Both approaches aim to stop dangerous bleeding or prevent it from happening in high-risk patients.
