Balloon dilation for Budd-Chiari syndrome
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests using a balloon to widen narrowed or blocked veins in the liver (Budd-Chiari syndrome), guided by detailed imaging to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial looks at a procedure that uses a large balloon to help remove big stones from the bile duct. It may help people with large common bile duct stones who are safe for this approach.
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 compares two types of balloons used to open up narrowed areas in the blood vessels of dialysis patients. It aims to find which balloon works better for keeping the fistula working well.
This study compares using a special balloon to open narrowed brain arteries against just taking medicines. It aims to see which is better at preventing more strokes in people who have had symptoms from a severely narrowed artery.
