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.
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 tests whether using a procedure called RTO (a way to block off stomach varices early) can prevent bleeding in people with cirrhosis. It's for people whose varices were found on scans before they caused symptoms.
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.
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 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.
