Liver shunt study aims to unlock better care for cirrhosis patients
NCT ID NCT03973372
First seen Feb 13, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study follows over 850 adults with cirrhosis who are getting a TIPS procedure—a small tube placed in the liver to relieve dangerous pressure. Researchers will track their health for 5 years to learn which patients benefit most and how to reduce side effects like confusion or liver strain. The goal is to gather real-world data to improve future care, not to test a new treatment.
