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

Portal Vein Thrombosis Clinical Trial

Official title:
Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Versus Endoscopic Treatment Combined With Propranolol for Prevention of Variceal Rebleeding in Cirrhotic Patients With Portal Vein Thrombosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Clinical Trial Description

Usually, cirrhotic patients with PVT are submitted to variceal rebleeding prophylaxis with endoscopic band ligation combined with non-selective beta-blockers and, when necessary, the anticoagulation is started after the varices eradication.

TIPS is just regarded as the second-line therapy for the secondary prophylaxis of variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients. However, this indication might be changed in the setting of PVT. Indeed, the risk to benefit ratio of TIPS in cirrhotic patients with PVT for the prevention of recurrent variceal bleeding has never been evaluated.

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of TIPS and endoscopic band ligation + propranolol in decompensated cirrhosis patients with PVT and a history of variceal bleeding in the past 6 weeks. ;
