Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Portal Pressure Measurement and Interventions
Jason B Samarasena, Kenneth J Chang, Jason B Samarasena, Kenneth J Chang
Abstract
A growing number of studies have explored endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided vascular catheterization. Potential clinical applications of EUS-guided portal venous access include angiography, measurement of the portosystemic pressure gradient, EUS-guided transhepatic intrahepatic portosystemic shunt creation and portal vein sampling for the evaluation in gastrointestinal cancer. The following article reviews the different devices and techniques employed in these applications.
Keywords: Hepatic venous portal gradient; Portal pressure gradient; Portal vein sampling; Transhepatic intrahepatic portosystemic shunt; Endosonography.
