Blood Clotting Study in Cirrhosis Patients Getting a TIPS
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at blood clotting in patients with cirrhosis who are getting a TIPS—a tube placed in the liver to help blood flow. The study aims to understand how the procedure affects bleeding and clotting, which could help make it safer for people with liver disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have cirrhosis and are scheduled to receive a TIPS (a small tube inserted in your liver to improve blood flow)
- You do not have any known bleeding or clotting disorder that is not related to your cirrhosis
- You are not currently taking blood-thinning or clotting-altering medications that cannot be stopped safely for the procedure
- You are not currently taking steroid medications (like prednisone) by mouth or injection

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares patients who have a rare liver condition (porto-sinusoidal vascular disease) with those who have cirrhosis, to see how a procedure called TIPS (a shunt placed in the liver to reduce blood pressure) works for complications like bleeding, fluid buildup, or blood clots.
This study looks at how to manage blood clotting around the time of a TIPS procedure in adults with cirrhosis, to see if a safer clotting strategy helps. It may be useful if you are having TIPS for a specific complication of liver disease.
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 placing a TIPS (a small tube in the liver to improve blood flow) early after a variceal bleed helps people with cirrhosis and a partial portal vein clot. It may reduce the risk of re-bleeding and improve outcomes.
This study tests whether placing a small tube (called a TIPS) early in the liver can help people with cirrhosis who have their first episode of moderate to severe belly fluid buildup. The goal is to see if this early procedure improves outcomes compared to standard care.
This is a registry study that collects information from people who need a procedure called TIPS for portal hypertension. It may help doctors better understand outcomes and care for both cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic causes of portal hypertension.
