About this study

Official title: Guidance for TIPS Creation: CT-image Versus CO2 Portography

To prospectively evaluate the efficacy of real-time 3D CT-image guidance and CO2 portography during transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation.

Being tested
CT-image guidance, CO2 portograms guidance
Medical subject headings
Hypertension, Portal

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CT-image guidanceDevice

    TIPS creation is performed under the guidance of 3D CT-image.

  • CO2 portograms guidanceDrug

    TIPS creation is performed under the guidance of two-dimensional (2D) CO2 portograms.

Study groups in NCT02480426
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CT-image guidanceExperimentalPreviously acquired portal venous phase of CT datasets and intra-operative CT datasets were registered on a dedicated workstation. The selected volume of interest of the CT-image showing portal vein vasculature was overlaid onto the fluoroscopic display as real-time 3D CT-image guidance during the procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CT-image guidance and CO2 portograms guidance in people with Portal Hypertension, run by West China Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Technical success rate (time frame: procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jun 2015.
