Summary:Introduction: The gold standard of measuring portal hypertension is through a trans jugular approach, measuring the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG). [...]the FDA approved EUS-guided portal pressure gradient (PPG) measurement can measure direct portal pressure and variceal screening can be done concomitantly.
