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 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 tests whether placing a TIPS (a small tube in the liver to improve blood flow) early after a variceal bleed helps people with cirrhosis and a partial portal vein clot. It may reduce the risk of re-bleeding and improve outcomes.
This study tests a preventive procedure called TIPS, which places a small tube in the liver to lower blood pressure and prevent re-bleeding. It may help people with cirrhosis who have just had bleeding from stomach varices by reducing the chance of another bleed.
This study tests a new way to guide a procedure called TIPS, which creates a new path for blood flow in the liver to reduce pressure. The method uses magnetic positioning along with ultrasound to help doctors place the tube more accurately, which may lead to fewer complications.
