Portal vein peak systolic velocity is a useful noninvasive predictor of high‐risk varices in biliary atresia

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Portal vein (PV) flow velocity is considered an indicator of portal hypertension. However, few studies have evaluated the predictive performance of PV flow velocity for high‐risk varices (HRV) in children with biliary atresia (BA). In this study, we evaluated the predictive performance of PV peak systolic velocity (PSV) for HRV in ...
