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.

- You are 18–80 years old and of Chinese ethnicity

- You have not had prior preventive treatment for stomach varices or shunt surgery
- You do not have severe liver disease (advanced encephalopathy, very high jaundice), organ failure, or advanced cancer

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 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 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 compares two ways to stop bleeding from enlarged veins in the stomach (called gastric varices). One uses a type of medical glue, the other uses a sponge-like material, both applied during an endoscopic procedure. The goal is to prevent future bleeding and improve outcomes.
This trial tests two procedures to prevent re-bleeding from enlarged veins in the stomach (gastric varices) in people with liver cirrhosis. Both procedures aim to block off the abnormal veins to reduce the risk of another bleeding episode.
