End-procedural adherence to recommended hemodynamic targets does not improve the outcome of elective TIPS in patients with cirrhosis Open
Background and Aims: In clinical practice, the reduction of portocaval pressure gradient (PCPG) following TIPS does not always meet the recommendation of current guidance. We evaluated the impact of different degrees of PCPG reduction, mea…
