Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is an indirect measure of portal venous pressure in cirrhosis, which is valid in cirrhotic adults for evaluating the severity of portal hypertension, predicting outcomes, and guiding therapeutic decisions. Published data on the measurement of HVPG in children are sparse. The aim of the present study was to determine the feasibility and safety of undertaking HVPG measurements in children.

Abstract

 

BACKGROUND:

The management of extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO) in children is controversial. We report our experience with a prospective evaluation of a stepwise protocol based on severity of portal hypertension and feasibility of mesoportal bypass (MPB).
