| Core Tip |
The accurate measurement of portal hypertension (PH) is crucial in assessment of patients with liver cirrhosis as it significantly impacts the disease progression and prognosis. Moreover, it plays a critical role in guiding surgical decisions especially liver transplant. Hepatic vein pressure gradient is considered gold standard technique for measuring PH but is not widely used due to various factors like lack of availability, technical expertise, risk of contrast and ionizing radiation and inaccuracy in pre-sinusoidal causes of PH. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has emerged as a safe and reliable method for portal pressure measurement. The portal pressure gradient (PPG) can be estimated as a single procedure while evaluating for collaterals including oesophageal and gastric varices or while doing a liver biopsy. With increase in cases of liver transplant in future, EUS guided PPG might play a crucial role in peri-operative and post-operative management of such patients. |
