Performance of spleen stiffness measurement to rule out high-risk varices in patients with porto-sinusoidal vascular disorder

Abstract

This study gathering a total of 309 patients with PSVD showed that SSM-VCTE ≤40 kPa combined with bilirubin <1 mg/dL identifies patients with PSVD and portal hypertension with a probability of HRV <5%, in whom screening endoscopy can be spared.
