Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Portal Hypertension
Interventions
Device: Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic shunt
Registration Number
NCT06117735
Lead Sponsor
Enlight Medical Technologies (Shanghai) Co., Ltd
Brief Summary

To validate the safety and efficacy of TIPS (Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt) using PTFE covered stent in the treatment of portal hypertension.

Detailed Description

This trial is a prospective multi-center single-arm confirmatory study. A total 177 subjects will be enrolled in multiple centers nationwide. Subjects who meet the trial requirements, fulfill the inclusion criteria, voluntarily participate in the study, and provide informed consent will undergo TIPS using the PTFE covered stent for the treatment of portal hypertension. Follow-up assessments will be conducted at discharge, as well as at 30 days, 90 days, 180 days and 360 days postoperatively. Secondary endpoint measures include surgical success rate, all-cause mortality, device/procedure-related mortality, incidence of adverce events, and serious adverse event rates. The trial aims to comprehensively assess the safety and efficacy of the PTFE covered stent produced by Enlight Medical Technologies (Shanghai) Co., Ltd..

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Primary shunt patency rate1 year

shunt dysfunction was defined as a TIPS stenosis \>=50% or complete occlusion. Primary patency referred to continuous unassisted patency of the shunt.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Technical success rateimmediately after procedure

Successful implantation of a PTFE covered stent to create an intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and successful retrieval of the delivery system.

Procedure success rateimmediately after procedure

PPG (portosystemic pressure gradient) reduces more than 20% or PPG \<=12mmHg

Treatment success rateduring the perioperative period

Treatment success is defined as the success of the procedure without major adverse event.
