Clinical Trial: Study on Portal Vein Pressure Gradient Measurement Under Endoscopic Ultrasound Guidance for Gastric Fundal Varices

U.S., March 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07478770) titled 'Study on Portal Vein Pressure Gradient Measurement Under Endoscopic Ultrasound Guidance for Gastric Fundal Varices' on March 04.

Brief Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of direct gastric variceal pressure measurement in patients with large spontaneous portosystemic shunts, and to determine whether the gastric variceal pressure gradient (GVPG)-defined as directly measured gastric variceal pressure (GVP) minus hepatic vein pressure (HVP)-offers superior predictive value for bleeding risk compared to conventional HVPG and EUS-PPG in this challenging patient population.

Study Start Date: July 01, 2025
