Impact of an acute hemodynamic response-guided protocol for primary prophylaxis of variceal bleeding

Abstract: AIMTo evaluate the long-term outcome of an acute hemodynamic response-guided protocol in which acute responders to intravenous propranolol received traditional nonselective beta-blockers (NSBBs) and acute nonresponders received carvedilol.METHODSRetrospective review of a protocol for primary prophylaxis of variceal bleeding guided by the acute hemodynamic response to intravenous propranolol. Fifty-two acute responders treated with traditional NSBB (i.e. propranolol or nadolol) were compared with 24 acute nonre… Show more

“…HVPG was performed by experienced personnel as previously described. 17 Briefly, after an overnight fast a catheter introducer was placed under local anaesthesia in the right internal jugular vein using the Seldinger technique. Under fluoroscopy, a 7-F balloon-tipped catheter was guided into the right hepatic vein to obtain triplicate measurements of wedged hepatic venous pressure and free hepatic venous pressure.…”
