A minimally invasive procedure to directly assess portal pressure gradient under endoscopic ultrasound guidance (EUS-PPG) has become available and initial data have proved the technique to be safe. Aims of our proposal are: (i) to assess performance of EUS-PPG as compared to HVPG in evaluating hemodynamic response to non selective betablockers (NSBBs) in a large cohort of patients with CSPH;(ii) identification of markers of hemodynamic response(iii) identification of factors potentially affecting the accuracy of PPG measurement.

Primary | Measurement of the portal pressure gradient though endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) to evaluate the hemodynamic response to non-selective beta blockers (NSBBs) | The investigators will measure portal pressure gradient through EUS-PPG measurement at baseline and after NSBBs titration in enrolled patients. | 24 months | |
Primary | Measurement of the portal pressure gradient though endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) to evaluate the hemodynamic response to non-selective beta blockers (NSBBs) | The investigators will measure portal pressure gradient through HVPG measurement at baseline and after NSBBs titration in enrolled patients. | 24 months | |
Secondary | Markers of hemodynamic response | Spleen Stiffness Measurement (SSM) will be assessed by transient elastography before starting NSBB and using a FibroScan® (Echosens, Paris, France) after an overnight fasting. | 24 months | |
Secondary | Markers of hemodynamic response | Liver Stiffness Measurement (LSM) will be assessed by transient elastography before starting NSBB and using a FibroScan® (Echosens, Paris, France) after an overnight fasting. | 24 months | |
Secondary | Markers of hemodynamic response | The gut microbiota will be collected before and after the start of therapy with NSBBs. Fecal samples will be collected at home in a commercial sterile, dry screw-top container, and frozen at -80 °C within 24 hours, until further processing. Baseline and post NSBBs treatment blood samples collected from portal vein will be drawn, processed and stored at -80°C within 1 hour, until further processing. | 24 months |
