Non-invasive Evaluation Program for TIPS and Follow Up Network 2 (NEPTUN2)

Non-invasive Evaluation of Prognostic Parameters for Patients With Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) Using a Structured Follow up Protocol 2

Sponsor

University Hospital, Bonn

Enrollment

1,000 participants

Start Date

May 12, 2020

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Portal Hypertension

Summary

Evaluation of non-invasive prognostic parameters in patients receiving transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for complications of portal hypertension. Patients are cared according to the local standardized follow up program. Clinical and laboratory data from standard patient care are evaluated for potential prognostic value.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 100 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study develops a non-invasive monitoring program for people who have had a TIPS (transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt) procedure — a technique used to reduce pressure in the liver's portal vein, commonly done for people with cirrhosis and complications like fluid build-up or bleeding. The study aims to create a network for non-invasive follow-up instead of repeated invasive tests. **You may be eligible if...** - You have had a TIPS procedure inserted according to current medical guidelines **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a contraindication to having a TIPS procedure Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
