Background: Clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) is associated with severe complications and decompensation of liver cirrhosis. Liver stiffness measured either by transient elastography (TE) or Shear-wave elastography (SWE) and spleen stiffness by TE might be helpful in the diagnosis of CSPH. We recently showed the algorithm to rule-out CSPH by using sequential liver- (L-SWE) and spleen-Shear-wave elastography (S-SWE). This study investigated the diagnostic value of S-SWE for CSPH. Methods: 158 cirrhotic patients with pressure gradient measurements were included into this prospective multicenter stu…
