Zusammenfassung

Aims: Novel ultrasound based elastography techniques (ARFI, Fibroscan) allow the measurement of liver stiffness (LS) in the presence of ascites. However, it is unclear whether ascites and concomitant elevation of intraabdominal pressure (IAP) increase LS. Methods: LS was measured in 6 patients with ascites using the novel more powerful XL probe. In addition, LS was measured in narcotized German landrace pigs with intraabdominal saline liquid infusion to increase IAP. LS was then compared to central venous pressure (CVP) and IAP. Results: LS was successfully measured in 6 patients despite ascites and skin capsule…
