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 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 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 study looks at ways to reduce the need for blood transfusions during major liver surgery. It uses a technique to carefully manage blood loss, which may help you avoid needing donor blood.
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.
