AI-guided tips procedure for liver disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using artificial intelligence to guide a TIPS procedure (a treatment for certain serious liver problems) can make the surgery safer and more effective. The AI helps the doctor see the best place to put the small tube in the liver to relieve dangerous pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have a medical condition where a TIPS procedure is medically necessary, such as severe liver problems that cause bleeding or fluid buildup.
- Your overall health must be strong enough to safely undergo the procedure.
- You must not have a history of serious allergic reactions to iodine contrast dye (the substance used in X-ray imaging).
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you cannot participate.
- You must be willing and able to give your informed consent to take part in the trial.

This study tests a TIPS stent graft (a tiny mesh tube placed in the liver to relieve pressure) for people with cirrhosis and complications like bleeding or fluid buildup. It aims to see how well it works and if it's safe.
This study tests whether a smaller stent (TIPS) can safely prevent rebleeding in people with advanced cirrhosis and shrunken livers. It may offer a less invasive option to control bleeding episodes.
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 study tests a new version of a device (VIATORR TIPS) that helps lower high blood pressure in the liver for people with cirrhosis. The device is placed to create a small channel that reroutes blood flow and reduces pressure.
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.
This study tests a new way to guide a procedure called TIPS, which creates a new path for blood flow in the liver to reduce pressure. The method uses magnetic positioning along with ultrasound to help doctors place the tube more accurately, which may lead to fewer complications.
