However, TIPS is associated with higher rates of portosystemic encephalopathy and does not show survival benefit. TIPS with a small-diameter may achieve sufficient portal decompression and reduce the incidence of hepatic encephalopathy. The aim of this study was to conduct a prospective randomized trial to compare TIPS with 8mm ePTFE-covered stents and endoscopic variceal ligation plus propranolol for the prevention of recurrent esophageal variceal bleeding.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '75 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\nCirrhosis Patients who had bled from esophageal varices (≥5days and ≤28days) Child-Pugh A -\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\nThe presence of gastric varices Non-cirrhotic portal hypertension Portal vein thrombosis The history of hepatic encephalopathy Total bilirubin ≥51.3 umol/L Previous treatment of TIPS or surgery Proven malignancy including hepatocellular carcinoma Contraindications to TIPS、EVL or propranolol End-stage renal disease under renal replacement therapy; Cardiorespiratory failure Pregnancy or patients not giving informed consent for endoscopic procedure\n\n\\-'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT03094234', 'briefTitle': '8mm-TIPS Versus Endoscopic Variceal Ligation (EVL) Plus Propranolol for Prevention of Variceal Rebleeding in Patients With Child A Cirrhosis', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'West China Hospital'}, 'officialTitle': '8mm-TIPS Versus Endoscopic Variceal Ligation (EVL) Plus Propranolol for Prevention of Variceal Rebleeding in Patients With Child A Cirrhosis', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '8mm-TIPS-ChildA'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': '8mm-TIPS', 'description': 'Patients in this group would underwent TIPS placement with 8mm-diameter ePTFE-covered stents.', 'interventionNames': ['Device: 8mm-TIPS']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'EVL plus propranolol', 'description': 'Patients in this group would underwent sequential endoscopic variceal ligation and propranolol treatment.', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL)', 'Drug: Propranolol']}], 'interventions': [{'name': '8mm-TIPS', 'type': 'DEVICE', 'description': 'Patients in this group would underwent TIPS placement with 8mm-diameter ePTFE-covered stents.', 'armGroupLabels': ['8mm-TIPS']}, {'name': 'endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL)', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'Patients in this group would underwent sequential endoscopic variceal ligation and propranolol treatment.', 'armGroupLabels': ['EVL plus propranolol']}, {'name': 'Propranolol', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'Appropriate dose of propranolol was administered to the patients.', 'armGroupLabels': ['EVL plus propranolol']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'city': 'Chengdu', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'China', 'contacts': [{'name': 'xuefeng luo', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'luo_xuefeng@yeah.net', 'phone': '02885422311'}], 'facility': 'West china hospital', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 30.66667, 'lon': 104.06667}}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'UNDECIDED'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'West China Hospital', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Principal Investigator', 'investigatorFullName': 'luo xuefeng', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'West China Hospital'}}}}
