U.S., July 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07062289) titled 'Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Measurement of Portal Vein Pressure Gradient' on June 24.
Brief Summary: This study aims to evaluate the accuracy and safety of a novel endoscopic ultrasound-guided portal pressure gradient (EUS-PPG) measurement technique in 42 adults with liver cirrhosis and portal vein thrombosis (blood clots in the liver's main vein), a condition where current standard testing (HVPG) fails to provide reliable pressure readings. Participants will undergo both EUS-PPG (using a specialized needle under ultrasound guidance) and HVPG procedures to compare results; EUS-PPG will be performed under general anesthesia in a lef...
