Recruiting

• Conditions: Hepatic fibrosis,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2019/08/020937
• Lead Sponsor: Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences

Brief Summary

A total of 50 patients will be enrolled and will be randomized into either Group A(TIPS) or Group B (SEMS).

Primary end point of the study will be to compare efficacy of TIPS versus SEMS for survival at 6 week or Early re Bleed. All enrolled patients will also undergo HVPG measurement at baseline to stratify risk of failure to control bleed or early re-bleed.

Patient will be monitored for 5 days for re bleed, complications of therapy, worsening of Liver function tests and scores and efficacy of either treatment modality over other. Patient will be followed for 6 weeks to see for the primary end point.
