Removable clip treatment for stomach varices bleeding
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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 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 study tests whether treating stomach varices early, before they bleed, using a procedure called retrograde transvenous obliteration (RTO), can prevent future bleeding in people with liver cirrhosis. If you qualify, you may receive this preventative treatment and be followed by the liver team.
This study tests a new way to treat bleeding varicose veins in the stomach by using endoscopic ultrasound to guide the procedure, for people with liver cirrhosis. It aims to improve how this bleeding is managed.
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 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.
