Medical trial tests if pricier stents save money Long-Term for liver patients
NCT ID NCT00593528
Summary
This study compared two types of stents used in a liver shunt procedure for people with advanced cirrhosis. Researchers wanted to see if more expensive coated stents, which rarely get blocked, are actually more cost-effective than cheaper uncoated stents that often need follow-up procedures to reopen them. The trial involved 138 patients with cirrhosis who needed the shunt procedure to manage serious complications like repeated bleeding or fluid buildup.
