Core Tip This study demonstrates that spleen stiffness measurement (SSM), assessed by vibration-controlled transient elastography, strongly correlates with both baseline portal pressure and its reduction after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), outperforming liver stiffness measurement. Although neither parameter reliably predicts successful hemodynamic response to TIPS, SSM emerges as a robust non-invasive tool for monitoring portal pressure changes over time-particularly valuable when repeated invasive measurements are impractical.
