Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: cirrhosis,portal hypertension
  • Age: 100 years or below
  • Gender: All

This study investigates the effects of TIPS creation on patients who may be candidates for surgery. TIPS, or Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt, is a procedure that connects two veins in the liver to treat portal hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the veins that supply the liver.

Participants will undergo procedures to create a TIPS and will be monitored to assess how this affects their eligibility for surgery and their recovery after surgery. The study will collect data on various health metrics to understand the outcomes of the TIPS procedure.

  • Who can participate: Specific eligibility criteria, including age range and health conditions, are not provided in the trial description.
  • Study details: Participants will have a Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) procedure, which involves connecting two veins in the liver. The study will monitor the effects of this procedure on surgical outcomes.
