NCT ID NCT07358663
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at people with high blood pressure in the liver that causes swollen veins in the esophagus and stomach. Researchers will compare those who get an endoscopic procedure (using a camera down the throat) with those who receive other treatments like medicine or surgery. The goal is to see which approach leads to fewer complications like rebleeding and better survival.
