Summary

Pilot study examining changes in liver stiffness measured by ultrasound before and after TIPS creation

Conditions

  • Portal Hypertension
  • Liver Fibroses

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Ultrasound

Hepatic ultrasound using gray scale, color Doppler, and spectral Doppler imaging to evaluate hepatic vein and portal vein patency, direction and velocity of flow respectively. ARFI will be performed in the right hepatic lobe. Three measurements of stiffness (m/s) will be performed and the mean value recorded.
