Correlation between the diameter of esophageal varices measured using a virtual ruler under endoscopy and portal pressure gradient

BackgroundEsophageal variceal diameter (EVD) is a crucial factor in determining the risk of esophageal variceal bleeding, which is associated with an increased portal pressure gradient (PPG). However, research into the relationship between EVD and PPG has been limited, primarily because the assessme...
