AI-guided TIPS procedure trial
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests if an artificial intelligence (AI) system can help guide a TIPS procedure, which is a treatment to improve blood flow in the liver. If you need this procedure and are in good enough health, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have a TIPS procedure (a treatment to create a new path for blood flow in the liver).
- Your doctor has determined that your body can handle the TIPS procedure.
- You are not allergic to iodine contrast dye (a special dye used in imaging) or similar medications.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 trial tests a smaller version of a TIPS procedure (a tube placed in the liver to reduce pressure) for people with cirrhosis, a small liver, and a history of serious bleeding from the esophagus or stomach. The goal is to see if this tailored approach can help control bleeding while keeping the liver working as well as possible.
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 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 tests a new method using electromagnetic positioning to help guide ultrasound during a TIPS procedure, which creates a connection between two blood vessels in the liver to reduce pressure. It may help people with various liver-related conditions who need this procedure.
This pilot study is testing a new way to guide a TIPS procedure using a special fiber-optic navigation system, which may make the shunt placement more precise for patients with serious liver problems.
