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.

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.
