Reducing bleeding risk before liver transplant
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure to lower blood loss during liver transplant for patients with high blood pressure in the liver. It may help those who have had a previous transplant, abdominal surgery, or certain complications of liver disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a planned liver transplant from a deceased donor
- You are 18 years or older
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 30
- You have a condition called clinically significant portal hypertension (high pressure in the liver veins)
- You have at least one added risk factor for heavy bleeding, such as a previous transplant, abdominal surgery, variceal bleeding, past infection, or a planned procedure to remove a clot

This study tests whether placing a small tube (called a TIPS) early in the liver can help people with cirrhosis who have their first episode of moderate to severe belly fluid buildup. The goal is to see if this early procedure improves outcomes compared to standard care.
This study looks at blood clotting in patients with cirrhosis who are getting a TIPS—a tube placed in the liver to help blood flow. The study aims to understand how the procedure affects bleeding and clotting, which could help make it safer for people with liver disease.
This trial compares a surgery called LSD with a procedure called TIPS to see which is better at preventing rebleeding in people with liver cirrhosis and an enlarged spleen. It may help if you have had bleeding from veins in your esophagus or stomach that came back after treatment.
This trial tests whether placing a small tube (TIPS) at the time of variceal bleeding can prevent future bleeding in people with cirrhosis and a large clot in the liver's main vein. It aims to see if early TIPS treatment is better than standard care.
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 a special stent to treat high blood pressure in the liver caused by cirrhosis. It may help patients who need a procedure called TIPS to improve blood flow.
