Portal hypertension esophageal gastric varices treatment study
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- You do not have a stomach ulcer, stomach cancer, or other active cause of bleeding in your digestive tract.
