Abstract:
Background and aim: Abdominal porto-systemic collaterals (APC) on color-Doppler ultrasound are a frequent finding in portal hypertensive cirrhotic patients, but their prognostic significance is unclear. In cirrhosis, an HVPG≥16mmHg has been associated with high mortality in some series. Non-invasive indicators of HVPG≥16mmHg might define a subgroup of high-risk patients, but data on this aspect are lacking. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of HVPG and of APC in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension.
