ACTIVE COMPARATORInterventions
The intraparenchymal portal vein covered stent, produced by Shanghai Shenqi Medical Technology Co., Ltd., is used for a transjugular approach. It establishes an artificial shunt between the hepatic vein and the main branches of the portal vein within the liver. This helps in reducing portal venous pressure and alleviating or improving the symptoms of portal hypertension and its complications, such as variceal bleeding, gastropathy, refractory ascites, and/or hepatic hydrothorax.
The GORE® VIATORR® Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) Covered Stent consists of an implantable covered stent and a percutaneous delivery catheter.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age 18-75 years (inclusive); male or non-pregnant female.
- Diagnosed with cirrhosis and associated complications of portal hypertension (such as esophageal and gastric variceal bleeding, refractory ascites), and meeting the consensus recommendations for TIPS indications (see Appendix 5).
- Participants must understand the purpose of the trial, voluntarily participate, sign an informed consent form, and be willing to complete the follow-up according to the project requirements.
You may not qualify if:
- Severe right heart failure, congestive heart failure (LVEF \< 40%), or severe valvular heart dysfunction.
- Uncontrolled systemic infection or inflammation.
- Persistent moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension after treatment (tricuspid regurgitant peak velocity \> 3.4 m/s or pulmonary artery systolic pressure \> 50 mmHg).
- Patients in hepatic encephalopathy coma or comatose phase (West Haven Criteria Stage III, IV).
- Severe liver dysfunction, Child-Pugh score \> 13, or MELD score \> 18.
- Serum creatinine (Scr) \> 178 umol/L or on dialysis.
- Stage IIIa or higher liver malignancy.
- Budd-Chiari syndrome, hepatic veno-occlusive disease, or obstructive cholestasis.
- Polycystic liver disease.
- Unrectifiable coagulopathy (INR \> 5 or PLT count \< 20 x 10\^9/L).
- Main portal vein thrombosis occupying \> 50% of the lumen area or cavernous transformation of the portal vein.
- Previous TIPS procedure or planned liver transplantation within a year.
- Allergy to contrast agents or nickel-titanium alloys.
- Life expectancy less than 1 year.
- Participation in other drug or medical device clinical trials within three months before screening.
