TIPS for liver disease with portal hypertension
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a condition called porto-sinusoidal vascular disease or cirrhosis
- You need a TIPS procedure for bleeding from liver-related high blood pressure, fluid in the belly that doesn't go away, or a blood clot in the liver's main vein
- You do not have other specific liver diseases like Budd-Chiari syndrome, Rendu-Osler disease, or severe heart failure
- You must be healthy enough for the TIPS procedure

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 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 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 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 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.
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.
