To validate a custom-built 22G system against the commercial 25G system for portal pressure measurements.
Conducted EUS-PPG measurement using both systems in a single session.
Assessed correlation and accuracy between the two systems.
Good correlation observed between 22G and 25G systems in EUS-PPG measurements.
The custom-built system proved to be a viable alternative in measuring portal pressure.

Implication

Randomized trial compares EUS-guided portal pressure gradient measurement systems, indicating accuracy in assessment.

Abstract

Background and objective: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided portal pressure gradient (EUS-PPG) measurement is a promising alternative to hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) assessment, especially in settings where HVPG is unavailable or limited. The commercial 25- gauge (25G) system showed good correlation [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
