In Pictures: Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient - Indications, Technique and Complications
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Hepatic venous pressure gradient measurement is an important technique in diagnosis, prognosis and management of portal hypertension. The technique and indications have come a long way and currently, many centres perform this test safely and reliably. Even though the literature provides insights into hepatic venous pressure gradient measurement, a pictorial representation of the same seems to be lacking. In this pictorial review, we describe the indications, technique, complications and inadvertent mistakes in hepatic venous pressure gradient measurement.
