Prognostic value of spleen stiffness measurement using vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) post recanalization of portal vein in chronic non-cirrhotic extrahepatic portal vein obstruction.

Chronic non-cirrhotic extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (CNC-EHPVO) is a rare condition that can lead to severe portal hypertension and its associated complications, including gastrointestinal bleeding, portal cholangiopathy, ascites, and extension or recurrence of portal thrombosis. Managing these complications is particularly challenging due to the lack of standardized treatment protocols.   Recanalization of CNC-EHPVO has emerged … Continue reading Prognostic value of spleen stiffness measurement using vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) post recanalization of portal vein in chronic non-cirrhotic extrahepatic portal vein obstruction.
