NCT ID: NCT01440829 Completed - Portal Hypertension Clinical Trials

The Effectiveness of L-ornithine-L-aspartate (LOLA) on Plasma Ammonia in Cirrhotic Patients After TIPS

Start date: December 2011
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of L-ornithine-L-aspartate (LOLA) on plasma ammonia in cirrhotic patients after Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) procedure.

NCT ID: NCT01410591 Completed - Portal Hypertension Clinical Trials

TIPS With 8- OR 10-mm Covered Stent for Preventing Variceal Rebleeding

T8/10SVB
Start date: July 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) with 10-mm covered stent is associated with lower shunt dysfunction in comparing TIPS with 8-mm covered stent in cirrhotic patients with at least one episode of variceal bleeding.

NCT ID: NCT01370161 Completed - Clinical trials for Decompensated Cirrhosis

Early TIPS With Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Covered Stents for Acute Variceal Bleeding in Patients With Advanced Cirrhosis

Start date: July 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether early use of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) with Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) covered stents is able to prolong the survival in patients with advanced cirrhosis and acute variceal bleeding.

NCT ID: NCT01326949 Completed - Clinical trials for Decompensated Cirrhosis

Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) for Prevention of Variceal Rebleeding in Cirrhotic Patients With Portal Vein Thrombosis

Start date: May 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) refers to an obstruction in the trunk of the portal vein. It can extend downstream to the portal branches, or upstream to the splenic and/or the mesenteric veins. The prevalence of PVT is 10-25% and incidence is about 16% in cirrhotic patients. Recent studies demonstrate that the presence of PVT is not only an independent predictor of failure to control active variceal bleeding and prevent variceal rebleeding, but also significantly associated with increased mortality in patients with liver cirrhosis. However, in recent American Association of the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) practice guidelines and Baveno V consensus, no treatment strategies in cirrhotic patients with PVT was clearly recommended due to the absence of randomized controlled trials.
