Multimodal Ultrasound and Portal Hypertension

Summary

According to international guidelines, Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient is the gold standard technique for portal hypertension measurement, but it is invasive and poorly available. Currently, surveillance of oesophageal/gastric varices is performed by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. More recently, non-invasive tools to estimate portal hypertension have been developed and, among them, ultrasound elastography has been proposed as a technique to stratify patient risk to have portal hypertension.

Aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between ultrasound evaluation (D-CEUS + elastography) and endoscopic parameters predictive of clinically significant portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis.
