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 is looking at better ways to treat bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus or stomach that happen because of portal hypertension (high blood pressure in the liver's blood vessels). It compares different endoscopic (camera) and interventional procedures to see which is safest and most effective.
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.
This study tests a new way to treat bleeding varicose veins in the stomach by using endoscopic ultrasound to guide the procedure, for people with liver cirrhosis. It aims to improve how this bleeding is managed.
This study looks for ways to predict if a child with portal hypertension (high blood pressure in the liver's blood vessels) has enlarged veins in the esophagus, without needing an endoscopy. It aims to use simple blood tests and spleen size to identify children who may need further monitoring.
This trial is for people with liver problems and high blood pressure in the veins of the liver (called portal hypertension). It will look at how the condition affects patients with and without cirrhosis (scarring of the liver).
