Impact of catheter tip to hepatic vein ostium distance on the validity and prognostication of hepatic venous pressure gradient in cirrhosis
Abstract Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is an accurate measure of portal hypertension in cirrhosis. However, the effect of catheter tip distance from hepatic vein ostium (HVO) on HVPG is unknown. We performed a retrospective study on 228 patients with 307 HVPGs in our institution. The objec...
