Heart and liver study for TIPSS patients
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses MRI and echocardiography to check heart function in people with alcohol-related liver cirrhosis who need a TIPSS procedure. It aims to learn more about how the heart works in these patients.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares patients who have a rare liver condition (porto-sinusoidal vascular disease) with those who have cirrhosis, to see how a procedure called TIPS (a shunt placed in the liver to reduce blood pressure) works for complications like bleeding, fluid buildup, or blood clots.
This trial tests if doing a TIPS procedure (to lower blood pressure in the liver) before weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) helps people with advanced liver disease. It's for those who have cirrhosis and very high blood pressure in the liver, and who qualify for sleeve gastrectomy.
This trial studies the TIPS procedure in people with decompensated (worsening) liver cirrhosis to see how it helps. You may be considered if you need a TIPS procedure and can receive care at the study hospital.
This study uses an advanced MRI technique (called 4D-flow) to look at blood flow in the liver before and after a TIPS procedure (a small tube that helps lower blood pressure in the liver). The goal is to better understand how TIPS affects blood flow and outcomes, which may help improve care for people with cirrhosis.
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).
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.
