Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate effectiveness of the WallFlex Biliary RX Fully Covered Stent for anastomotic biliary strictures in post-orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) patients.
Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by non invasive methods is increasingly used to estimate liver fibrosis in patients with chronic liver diseases. However, there is growing evidence that fibrosis is not the only determinant of liver stiffness. Indeed inflammation, cholestasis, congestion could also interfere with stiffness measurements. Acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFI) is a new technology to perform real time LSM. Using a standard ultrasonographic probe, it offers elastography with a flexible metering box at variable depth, allowing the examination of specific area.
This study is designed to investigate the possible beneficial effects of UDCA on liver graft recovery early after adult liver transplantation.
Early diagnosis of liver fibrosis is useful for the follow-up and treatment of chronic liver disease. At present, the unique validated method to evaluate the liver fibrosis in children, is the liver biopsy which is an invasive method. If the elastometry method is proved to be a good method to evaluate the fibrosis in children, a numerous liver biopsy could be avoided.
The goal of the study is to determine if parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC) is related to the amount of parenteral (intravenous) fat administered to premature babies until full enteral nutrition is achieved.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the WallFlex® Biliary RX Fully Covered Stent as a treatment of biliary obstruction resulting from benign bile duct strictures.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Omegaven is effective in the treatment of parenteral nutrition associated liver disease (PNALD).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ursodiol is effective in the treatment of parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis in neonates.
The purpose of this study is to determine if established parenteral nutrition (PN) associated liver disease can be reversed or its progression halted by using a parenteral fat emulsion prepared from fish oil as measured by normalization of serum levels of hepatic enzymes and bilirubin.
To provide a mechanism for critically ill infants with parenteral nutrition (PN) associated cholestasis to receive Omegaven for compassionate use situations for which there are no satisfactory alternative treatments.
