Smaller stent, bigger hope: new TIPS technique aims to prevent brain fog
NCT ID NCT07349654
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a technique called 'underdilated stent' during a liver shunt procedure (TIPS) for people with cirrhosis. The goal is to see if using a smaller balloon to place the stent can lower the risk of hepatic encephalopathy (brain confusion) after the procedure, while still controlling bleeding and fluid buildup. About 72 participants will be randomly assigned to get the standard or underdilated stent and followed for outcomes.
