Clinical Trial: Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient Versus Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Portal Pressure Gradient - Comparative Analysis (HEPCA)

U.S., Feb. 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07424963) titled 'Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient Versus Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Portal Pressure Gradient - Comparative Analysis (HEPCA)' on Feb. 16.

Brief Summary: The goal of this interventional trial is to compare in measuring of portal hypertension by HVPG and EUS-PPG in subject indicated to HVPG measurement.

The primary question is whether EUS-PPG provides measurements really equivalent to HVPG in terms of gradient accuracy.

Participants undergoing HVPG will first undergo the procedure while conscious, performed by the first operator. Immediately thereafter, HVPG will be repeated following the induction of anesthesia by a second operator...
