| Core Tip |
Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) are known to improve liver function in hepatitis C-related cirrhosis. However, their effect on portal hypertension and variceal rebleeding in genotype 4 patients remains underexplored. This multicenter retrospective study in Egypt reveals that DAA therapy is associated with a significantly lower risk of rebleeding and hepatic decompensation, supporting their role in secondary prevention post-variceal hemorrhage. |
