About

Direct portal pressure measurement under EUS-guidance (EUS-PPM) is a promising alternative to conventional indirect Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient (HVPG). In patients undergoing liver transplantation for cirrhosis, high pre-operative portal vein (PV) pressure requires intra-operative portal vein inflow modulation (PIM). This pilot study aims to assess correlation between EUS-PPM with direct intra-operative portal pressure measurement (IO-PPM).
