ALTA TIPS: A 5-year Longitudinal Observational Study of Patients Undergoing TIPS Placement
ALTA is a multicenter consortium focused on the management of portal hypertension. ALTA TIPS is a longitudinal observational study of patients who are undergoing transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement. ALTA will create a database that will provide clinical parameters and outcomes of patients undergoing TIPS as part of their standard of care in hopes of answering key clinical questions.
Stanford is currently accepting patients for this trial.
