Ultrasound Elastography Assessment of Spleen and Liver Stiffness Before and After Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) Procedure

NCT03427164 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2021-09-29

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary purpose of this project is to determine if acute monitoring of shunt patency via ultrasound elastography measurements of splenic stiffness before and after TIPS placement results in reduced morbidity and mortality from shunt failure.

Conditions

  • Portal Hypertension

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt

The TIPS procedures creates an artificial shunt from the portal vein to the hepatic vein. TIPS allows blood from the congested portal circulation to bypass the fibrotic liver and directly enter the systemic circulation.
