Aims: SS by VCTE will be measured in this single center clinical study comprising of 200 patients with cACLD (defined by LSM ≥10 kilopascals (kPa) according to the Baveno VI recommendations) who have not had a liver transplant and 100 subjects who are post-liver transplant. The association between baseline SS values will be examined in relation to the manifestations of portal hypertension such as esophag...
Summary: This seamless, adaptive, two-stage, Phase 2b/3, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, parallel-groups, placebo-controlled study will assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of belapectin compared with placebo in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) cirrhosis and clinical signs of portal hypertension but without esophageal varices at baseline.
Summary: The goal of this exploratory validation study is to compare levels of expertise (or non-expertise) between GI fellows and experts with the varix trainer. The main question it aim to answer is: Can the varix trainer distinguish levels of expertise (or non-expertise) between novices and experts for specific skills (torque, small wheel and retroflexion techniques)? Does the training with the varix tr...
Summary: Remazolam besylate was used for sedation during endoscopic hemostasis in patients with esophageal and gastric varices rupture and bleeding in liver cirrhosis. The onset time, recovery time and incidence of adverse reactions were observed.
Summary: This study aimed to clarify the safety of anticoagulant therapy after glue injection for cirrhotic variceal bleeding patients with portal vein thrombosis.
Summary: Cirrhosis leads to portal hypertension and development of gastroesophageal varices, which are the most common cause for bleeding in cirrhosis and a major cause of death. The American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) recommends screening endoscopy every 2 years to evaluate for gastroesophageal varices, and annual surveillance for those with small varices on endoscopy. Unfortunatel...
Summary: The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of an early tips strategy over standard treatment by glue obliteration (G0) in preventing bleeding recurrence or death at one year after a non GOV1 gastric variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients initially treated by GO.
Summary: A prospective, randomized controlled study on whether re-education after discharge can reduce the rebleeding rate after endoscopic treatment of esophageal and gastric varices in patients with liver cirrhosis
Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of partial splenic artery embolization combined with endoscopic treatment and endoscopic treatment alone on portal hypertension in cirrhosis with hyperplenism or splenomegaly in esophageal and gastric varices.
Summary: This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of 24-hour vs 72-hour octreotide infusion after variceal banding in cirrhotic patients with bleeding esophageal varices.
Summary: The purpose of this study is to study the efficacy of endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection versus balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration in the prevention of gastric variceal bleeding.
Summary: Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) has been effective method to manage gastric varices. However, more than one third of patients after BRTO treatment experienced worsening of esophageal varices. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of post-BRTO propranolol adminstration on the change of esophageal varices.
