NCT03825848

Brief Summary

Through a multicenter randomized controlled trial of TIPS to prevent post-hepatitis B cirrhosis of esophagogastric varices, the incidence of hepatic encephalopathy, the rate of stent patency, the incidence of rebleeding and survival in the left and right branches of the portal vein were compared.

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Clinically diagnosed post-hepatitis B cirrhosis;
  • History of esophageal varices venous rupture confirmed by endoscopy, re-bleeding after standard treatment;
  • Liver function Child A or B;
  • Imaging (CT or MRI) suggests that the left/right first branch of the intrahepatic portal can construct a shunt;
