Fig. 3From: Hepatic venous pressure gradient after balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration and liver stiffness measurement predict the prognosis of patients with gastric varicesCumulative esophageal varices (EVs) exacerbation rate after performing balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO). a EVs were exacerbated in 19 patients (52.8%) who underwent BRTO therapy against gastric varices (GVs) after 10.5Â months (median exacerbation time). b Cumulative EVs exacerbation rate according to hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measured after performing BRTO (post-HVPG)Back to article page
