Blood pressure and vein changes after varices treatment
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at how endoscopic treatment for enlarged veins in the esophagus (from liver disease) affects certain blood pressure readings. If you have cirrhosis and need treatment to prevent bleeding from these veins, you may be able to join.

This study looks at how well treatments work for people with enlarged veins in the esophagus and stomach caused by a condition called portal hypertension. If you have this condition and have had a CT scan and an upper endoscopy (camera down the throat), you may be able to take part to help doctors understand which treatments work best.
This study tests whether using a special blood pressure measurement in the liver (called HVPG) can help doctors choose the best endoscopic treatment for people with cirrhosis who have had variceal bleeding. If you've had bleeding from varices, this study aims to make your follow-up care more personalized and effective.
This study collects medical data and images from people with portal hypertension who have enlarged veins in the esophagus or stomach. It aims to build a database for future research.
This study looks at how to best use endoscopy and other procedures to stop bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus or stomach caused by liver disease. It aims to find the safest and most effective treatment approach for people with this condition.
This study tests whether treating enlarged veins in the esophagus or stomach (caused by cirrhosis) in a day-care unit is safe and works well. It may help people who need repeat endoscopic treatment for these varices.
This trial studies better ways to use endoscopy and other treatments to stop bleeding in the stomach or esophagus caused by high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension). It may help if you have been diagnosed with portal hypertension and have varices (enlarged veins) in your esophagus or stomach.
