Two endoscopy methods to prevent stomach vein bleeding
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two endoscopic (camera-guided) procedures to prevent or treat bleeding from enlarged veins in the stomach. Both approaches aim to stop dangerous bleeding or prevent it from happening in high-risk patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two ways to stop variceal bleeding (bleeding from swollen veins in the esophagus or stomach) from coming back in people with liver cancer. It tests whether an ultrasound-guided technique during endoscopy can reduce repeat bleeding compared with standard endoscopy methods.
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 looks at how to best use endoscopy and other procedures to stop bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus or stomach caused by liver disease. It aims to find the safest and most effective treatment approach for people with this condition.
This study tests a new endoscopic strategy to treat enlarged veins in the stomach caused by liver cirrhosis and high blood pressure in the portal vein. It may help patients who have not received prior treatment for this condition avoid bleeding.
This study tests whether using a special blood pressure measurement in the liver (called HVPG) can help doctors choose the best endoscopic treatment for people with cirrhosis who have had variceal bleeding. If you've had bleeding from varices, this study aims to make your follow-up care more personalized and effective.
This study tests whether tying off high-risk veins in the esophagus before starting a common liver cancer treatment can prevent bleeding. It is for people with liver cancer that has spread but who have never had cancer treatment before.
