Endoscopic ultrasound-guided portosystemic pressure gradient measurement <i>vs.</i> transjugular balloon occlusion measurement in patients with cirrhosis (ENCOUNTER): A bicentric EU study.

Still, our post hoc analysis showed a possible trend towards more discrepancy in the hepatic pressures when a hepatic vein puncture site closer to the IVC was chosen, which coincides with a more angulated position in the stomach, possibly requiring more scope and elevator tension.
