Study of small liver grafts for portal hypertension treatment
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial explores using smaller liver grafts in a partial transplant to treat portal hypertension, which may help patients avoid full transplant risks. It compares this approach to standard liver transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be older than 14 years.
- You have decompensated portal hypertension (advanced liver disease with complications).
- You are already a candidate for a liver transplant.
- Your INR (blood clotting test) must be below 2.4.
- You are scheduled for a partial or full liver transplant.

This study uses MRI imaging and computer modeling to better plan liver surgery and related liver treatments. It may help doctors predict circulation (blood flow) changes during surgery and choose safer surgical timing or approaches.
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.
This trial tests a new way to control blood flow during laparoscopic liver surgery. It compares two methods to see which is safer and more effective for patients with certain liver conditions.
This trial is testing a new way to see how well patients do after a liver transplant. It includes people with severe cirrhosis, other end-stage liver diseases, or liver cancer.
This study compares two ways to manage blood flow in the new liver after a living-donor transplant: a medication (octreotide) versus a surgery on the spleen artery. The goal is to improve liver function and reduce complications for patients receiving a smaller-than-usual liver graft.
This trial tests techniques to help the liver grow before surgery in people who have a liver tumor and whose future liver remnant is too small. The goal is to make the liver big enough to safely remove the tumor.
