Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  SEMS with vasoactive drug  At upper endoscopy, a 0.35 Superstiff radiological guidewire with a soft tip (supplied with the stent insertion kit) is delivered into the stomach under direct vision and the endoscope is removed. The stent delivery device is then advanced over the guidewire into the stomach, and the distal portion of the stent delivery system is withdrawn to allow inflation of the gastric balloon. The gastric balloon is then inflated with 100 mL of air, and the whole delivery system is withdrawn until resistance is felt, which signifies that the balloon is impacting at the cardia, thus anchoring the distal end of the stent during deployment. 
Intervention  TIPS with vasoactive drug  The most common approach is through the right internal jugular approach. After infiltrating the puncture site with 2% lignocaine and puncturing the vein a guide wire is advanced into the IVC followed by a 9F/10F vascular sheath. A wedged venogram is performed with a peripherally placed hepatic vein catheter, which may identify a portion of the portal vein to facilitate subsequent puncture.

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.
