Trial summary

Porto-sinusoidal Vascular Disease (PSVD) is characterized by a portal hypertension (PH) without cirrhosis. This can induce PH complications, like digestive hemorrhage from esophageal or gastric varices, ascites, or even portal thrombosis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: TIPS for the Management of Complicated Portal Hypertension Related to Porto-Sinusoidal Vascular Disease

Porto-sinusoidal Vascular Disease (PSVD) is characterized by a portal hypertension (PH) without cirrhosis. This can induce PH complications, like digestive hemorrhage from esophageal or gastric varices, ascites, or even portal thrombosis. Due to the rarity of MVPS, the treatment of complications of portal hypertension is modeled on the methods used in cirrhotic portal hypertension with non-cardio-selective beta blockers, endoscopic ligations or diuretics in first line therapy, as proposed by the Baveno VII recommendations. In complicated or refractory forms of PH in PSVD, the place of TIPS is also discussed, as in the field of cirrhosis. However, the experience of TIPS in PSVD is limited, reported in case reports and small specifically dedicated series. No predictive factors for survival or recurrence and tolerance were well known. A larger study with control group is needed in order to better know the right time and the right indication for the use of TIPS in complicated PH PSVD-related.

The study will be retrospective, multicentric involving tertiary university French centers, expert in the management of TIPS. Patients white TIPS-PSVD will be compared with historical patients with TIPS-cirrhose, matched on age, sexe, indication of TIPS. The study will not comprise new intervention, only observational in a real life condition

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of TIPS and Portal Hypertension, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site in France.

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 10 inclusion and 9 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Eric NGUYEN-KHAC, Pr (33+3 22 08 88 51, nguyen-khac.eric@chu-amiens.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

overall survival after TIPS placement (time frame: at 3 months). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 Nov 2025.
