EUS Guided Portal-systemic Pressure Gradient Measurement to Predict Treatment Response and Outcomes of Varices to Endoscopic Variceal Ligation in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis.

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the current study is to assess if EUS-PPGM could predict the treatment response and outcomes of varices to endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) in patients with chronic hepatitis. The hypothesis is that a high EUS-PPGM value at 3 months correlates with the presence of varices requiring EVL in patients that have received primary or secondary variceal prophylaxis on 1 year follow-up upper endoscopy.
