New study probes hidden pressure changes after variceal treatment
NCT ID NCT07253090
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how two common endoscopic treatments—band ligation and sclerotherapy—change blood pressure in the liver's portal vein over 3 to 6 months. Researchers will use a special ultrasound-guided technique to measure these pressure changes in 70 adults with cirrhosis and esophageal varices. The goal is to settle conflicting past results and improve understanding of how these treatments affect portal pressure long-term.
