Rare liver disease study could change how doctors treat dangerous complications
NCT ID NCT07163689
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at a rare liver condition called Porto-Sinusoidal Vascular Disease (PSVD), which causes high blood pressure in the liver's veins. Researchers want to see if a procedure called TIPS works as well for PSVD patients as it does for those with cirrhosis. They will compare survival and complication rates in 360 patients from French hospitals, using existing medical records.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors decide when to use TIPS for patients with PSVD, potentially improving survival and reducing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a trial of a new treatment. It may not provide definitive answers due to its retrospective design and small number of PSVD cases.

Who is studied
The study will be retrospective and observational, collecting data provided in 24 tertiary french University Hospital (CHU). All patients with PSVD with a PH and treated by TIPS will be included (group TIPS\_PSDV) and compared with an historical group of patients with Cirrhosis with a TIPS (group TIPS-cirrhose).
