NCT ID NCT07461545
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether the blood thinner apixaban can safely dissolve blood clots in the portal vein (the main vein to the liver) that appear more than a year after spleen removal surgery. It involves 20 adults with cirrhosis who had their spleen removed. The goal is to see if apixaban helps restore normal blood flow better than aspirin.
