Clinical Trial: Electromagnetic Positioning-Assisted Ultrasound Guidance in Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS)

U.S., May 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06979622) titled 'Electromagnetic Positioning-Assisted Ultrasound Guidance in Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS)' on May 13.

Brief Summary: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an important method for treating complications related to portal hypertension. The difficulty of its surgical procedures lies in portal vein puncture. Improper operation may lead to complications such as hepatic artery hemorrhage, hepatic capsular hemorrhage, and biliary tract hemorrhage. At present, the means of guiding portal vein puncture are limited. There is evidence supporting that ultrasound guidance can help reduce the number of punc...
