Liver shunt study tracks Real-World outcomes for 852 patients
NCT ID NCT03973372
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 852 adults with liver cirrhosis who are scheduled for a TIPS procedure, a shunt placed in the liver to relieve dangerous high blood pressure. Researchers will collect information from standard medical care over 5 years to learn how to best use TIPS and reduce complications like confusion or liver failure. The goal is to improve future treatment decisions, not to test a new drug or device.
