No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the correlation of the calculated portal pressure gradient (PPG) obtained by direct portal and hepatic pressure measurements with a conventional 22 G needle guided by EUS and indirect portal vein pressure measurements using the interventional radiology based hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) procedure.

Conditions

  • Cirrhosis
  • Portal Hypertension

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

EUS-PPG and HVPG

EUS-PPG and HVPG will be measured in all patients. Under deep sedation with propofol, an echoendoscopy will be performed. After identifying the left or middle suprahepatic vein, it will be punctured with a standard 22 G needle. The needle will be previously purged with heparinized saline and connected to a venous pressure monitor via an arterial pressure system, which will be calibrated to zero at the level of the axillary midline, at the level of the atrium. Subsequently, the left portal vein will be identified from the stomach or duodenum, repeating the procedure. From each vessel 3 measurements will be taken by flushing 1-2 ml of heparinized saline. The mean of the three measurements will be obtained. On the same day or on successive days HVPG measurement will be performed.
