Severe portal hypertension is responsible for complications and death. Although measurement of the hepatic venous pressure gradient is the most accurate method for evaluating the presence and severity of portal hypertension, this technique is considered invasive and is not routinely performed in all

HCC, we agree with Sangiovanni and Iavarone that similar ultrasound surveillance intervals appear to be adequate for both patient groups, as recommended by international guidelines. Still, clinicians should be aware of the potentially higher oncogenic risk of genotype 1b in addition to other recogni
The specific contribution of splenic blood inflow to portal hypertension in patients with cirrhosis is still unclear. In this study, we investigated this contribution by assessing the hemodynamic effects of transient splenic artery occlusion. In 15 cirrhotic patients, portal pressure gradient (PPG)
