Utility of Doppler ultrasonography for predicting improvement of platelet count after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt
OBJECTIVE: Portal pressure gradient (PPG) after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) <12 mmHg has been reported as the only factor predictive of increase in platelet count. As flow velocities measured on Doppler ultrasound are related to pressure gradient based on the Bernoulli eq...
