Filter by:The purpose of this study is to see if a randomized controlled trial of ovarian vein and pelvic vein embolization versus venography alone could determine outcomes for women with chronic pelvic pain and pelvic varicose veins. The data gathered will assist in addressing changes in quality of life in patients who have ovarian/pelvic vein embolization versus no embolization.
Primary Outcomes: assessment of incidence , risk factors and prognosis of post-banding ulcer bleeding following EVL in patients with liver cirrhosis. Secondary Outcomes: minimize post-banding ulcer bleeding
The patients with GOV1 esophagogastric varices will be treated with gastric variceal tissue gel injection, at the same time, the esophageal varices were treated with ligation, sclerotherapy, or no treatment. A new method for the treatment of esophageal varices will be proposed to improve the effective rate and reduce the recurrence rates and mortality, shorter hospital stays, and lower treatment costs, while further expanding HVPG testing to develop the best strategy for secondary prevention of endoscopic treatment in patients with GOV1 type esophageal and gastric varices.
In the literature, it is stated that cold water immersion to lower extremities is effective on the symptoms of the disease. Studies have shown that cold water immersion, which is one of the cold application methods, has effects on increasing joint mobility, reducing pain, reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and increasing quality of life etc. For this reason, the study is planned as a randomized controlled interventional study to determine the effect of cold water immersion directly to the lower extremity in the preoperative period of patients with varicose veins on quality of life, anxiety and symptoms experienced.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the ability of Doppler ultrasonography of the portal vein and liver stiffness measurement using Transient Elestoghraphy in predicting prescence of gastroesophageal variceal and variceal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis
Number of patients and causes and patterns of recurrent varicose veins in the lower limbs in patients with history of varicose veins stripping or ablation of the superficial venous system.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether adding sulodexide to the patients with varicose veins who received radiofrequency ablation combined with sclerotherapy can reduce or improve the impact of adverse events。
Patients meet Baveno VI criteria (with a liver stiffness <20kPa and with a platelet count >150,000 are considered to have very low risk of having varices requiring treatment, but whether these patients can be followed up by repetition of this criteria lacks sufficient evidence. This study aimed to assess the value of Baveno VI criteria for following up and monitoring of varices needing treatment in patients with compensated cirrhosis.
The aim of this study is to explore whether using endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) to assess gastric varices (GV) and giving additional treatment according to the diameter and blood flow of residual after endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection for GV can reduce the rate of GV rebleeding, mortality, the risk of adverse events, and cost-effectiveness. This study is a multicenter prospective, open-label, randomized controlled study, including 5 study centers: Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, The Southwest Hospital of Army Medical University, Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University and Shanxi Coal Center Hospital. The total sample size is 150 patients, with 75 patients in the EUS evaluation group and 75 patients in the control group, respectively. The patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria are randomly assigned to EUS evaluation group and control group by using block randomization. The EUS evaluation group uses EUS to observe the diameter and blood flow of residual variceal veins after endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection for GV to evaluate the embolization effect. Endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection is performed again if the diameter of variceal vein is larger than 5 mm and with blood flow signal. After the injection, the blood flow signal is confirmed disappear by EUS. The control group return to the ward after endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection, without EUS evaluation. During the study, the patients are followed up for at least 12 months, and they are requested to return to the hospital for follow-up at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after the treatment, respectively. The data of baseline, treatment, postoperative and follow-up of the two groups are need to collect. The primary outcome of this study is rebleeding rate. Secondary outcomes are eradication rate of GV, mortality rate, retreatment, and cost-effectiveness.
Lower-limb varicose veins (VVs) are the most common of vascular diseases and affect up to one-third of the population, severely affecting the quality of life (QoL) of patients. In past decades, traditional surgical ligation and stripping were the gold standard therapy for patients with VVs; however, traditional methods have demonstrated high complication and recurrence rates. Thus, the practices are moving toward minimally invasive alternatives.
