Guided TIPS procedure for liver complications
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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 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 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 study tests a new way to guide a procedure called TIPS, which creates a new path for blood flow in the liver to reduce pressure. The method uses magnetic positioning along with ultrasound to help doctors place the tube more accurately, which may lead to fewer complications.
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 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 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.
