A novel spleen‐dedicated stiffness measurement by FibroScan® improves the screening of high‐risk oesophageal varices
Abstract
Background & Aims Several non‐invasive tests (NITs) have been developed to diagnose oesophageal varices (EV), including the recent Baveno VI criteria to rule out high‐risk varices (HRV). Spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) with the standard FibroScan® (SSM@50Hz) has been evaluated. However, the EV grading could be underestimated because of a ceiling threshold (75 kPa) of the SSM@50Hz. The aims were to evaluate SSM by a novel spleen‐dedicated...
