The transjugular or transfemoral approach is used as a common method for hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measurement in current practice. This study aims to confirm the safety and effectiveness of measuring HVPG via the forearm venous approach. Prospective recruitment was conducted for patients with cirrhosis who underwent HVPG measurement via the forearm venous approach at six hospitals in China and Japan from September 2020 to December 2020.

Article Synopsis
  • Portal hypertension significantly impacts cirrhosis progression, leading to serious complications and lower survival rates; the TIPS procedure has improved due to advancements in stent technology.
  • The evolution from bare metal stents (BMSs) to expanding polytetrafluoroethylene-covered stent grafts (ePTFE-SGs) has greatly increased success rates and reduced complications.
  • A deeper understanding of various health factors, alongside ongoing stent technology improvements, is crucial for personalizing treatment and enhancing patient outcomes in managing portal hypertension-related issues.

Background: The evidence in Portal pressure gradient (PPG) < 12 mmHg after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for preventing rebleeding mostly comes from observations in uncovered stents era. Moreover, association between Child-Pugh classes and post-TIPS hepatic encephalopathy (HE) has indicated that tolerance of PPG reduction depends on liver function. This study aimed to investigate the optimal PPG for covered TIPS and explore the optimal threshold tailored to the Child-Pugh classes to find individualized PPG to balance rebleeding and overt HE.
