Core Tip This retrospective study aimed to determine the correlation between the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) and the endoscopic grade of esophageal varices. Our results showed a good correlation between the endoscopic grade of esophageal varices and the HVPG measured by using either end-hole catheter or balloon catheter techniques. HVPG measured with the balloon catheter method showed a stronger correlation with esophageal varix grade upon endoscopy than when measured with the end-hole catheter method. HVPG measured using the balloon catheter method provides useful information that will allow practitioners to predict the risk of esophageal varix bleeding and guide patients towards appropriate treatment.
