Study of VIATORR TIPS device for liver pressure
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new version of a device (VIATORR TIPS) that helps lower high blood pressure in the liver for people with cirrhosis. The device is placed to create a small channel that reroutes blood flow and reduces pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cirrhosis and high blood pressure in the portal vein (the main vein to your liver).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You do not have a blood clot in the portal vein.
- You have not had a liver transplant (but being on the waiting list is okay).
- Your doctor expects you to live at least 6 more months.

This study tests a TIPS stent graft (a tiny mesh tube placed in the liver to relieve pressure) for people with cirrhosis and complications like bleeding or fluid buildup. It aims to see how well it works and if it's safe.
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 a smaller stent (TIPS) can safely prevent rebleeding in people with advanced cirrhosis and shrunken livers. It may offer a less invasive option to control bleeding episodes.
This study tests whether placing a small tube (TIPS) early in people with advanced liver cancer and a vein blockage helps their other treatments work better. It is for patients who are already taking lenvatinib and immunotherapy.
This trial tests if doing a TIPS procedure (to lower blood pressure in the liver) before weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) helps people with advanced liver disease. It's for those who have cirrhosis and very high blood pressure in the liver, and who qualify for sleeve gastrectomy.
This trial tests a new covered stent placed directly into the liver to relieve high blood pressure in the portal vein (the main vein to the liver) and reduce complications like bleeding and fluid build-up. It may offer an option for people with cirrhosis who need a TIPS procedure.
