  • Title: Endoscopic non-aggressive assessment of oesophageal variceal pressure compared with wedged hepatic venous pressure in alcoholic liver cirrhosis.
    Author: Gertsch P, Bohnet J, Mosimann R.
    Journal: Endoscopy; 1983 May; 15(3):101-3. PubMed ID: 6872963.
    Abstract:
    Ten alcoholic cirrhotic patients presenting with oesophageal varices underwent simultaneous measurement of wedged hepatic venous pressure and endoscopic variceal pressure. The latter was obtained by means of a pneumatic pressure gauge fixed to the tip of a gastrofibroscope. The correlation between these two parameters was highly significant.
