Abstract
Portal hypertension (PH) is still a major challenge to be managed in clinical practice. However, hepatic vein pressure gradient (HVPG) measurement is not always reliable for portal hypertension (PH) diagnosis. This study showed the impact of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) as a promising tool for diagnosis and management PH condition.
