Fujii-Lau et al[106]20141Trans-gastric22-G1NonePPG 1 mmHg (excellent correlation with HVPG)
Huang et al[105]201728-25-G25/25 casesNoneExcellent correlation with varices (P = 0.0002), PHG (P = 0.007), and thrombocytopenia (P = 0.036); few of them also underwent liver biopsy in same setting
Zhang et al[107]202012-22-G11/12 cases (91.7%)NoneR = 0.923
Shah et al[109]20211Trans-gastric25-G1NoneNA (same session EUS-liver biopsy was done)
Hajifathalian et al[108]202124Trans-gastric25-G23/24 (96%) patients also underwent EUS-liver biopsy (TS: 24/24 [100%])One case of mild abdominal pain (resolved with analgesics)NA; excellent correlation with fibrosis-4 score (P = 0.026) and transient elastography (P = 0.011)
Choi et al[110]202283Trans-gastric25-G100%; 71 cases underwent EUS-liver biopsyNo major events; minor abdominal pain (8 [9.6%] cases)Correlation with clinical features of cirrhosis (9.46 vs 3.61 mmHg, P < 0.0001), EV/GV (13.88 vs 4.34 mmHg, P < 0.0001), and thrombocytopenia (9.25 vs 4.71 mmHg, P = 0.0022)
Choi et al[111]202264Trans-gastric25-G100% (concurrent EUS-LB in 43/64 [67.2%])1 case (EUS-PPG alone); 5 cases (EUS-PPG + EUS-LB both)EUS-PPG > 5 mmHg correlated with EUS-liver biopsy fibrosis stage ≥ 3 [LR 27] (P = 0.004)
