Can ARFI elastography predict the presence of significant esophageal varices in newly diagnosed cirrhotic patients?

Aim. To establish an algorithm which includes the liver stiffness (LS) and/or spleen stiffness (SS) assessed by ARFI for the prediction of significant esophageal varices-EV (at least grade 2).Material and methods. Our study included 145 newly diagnosed cirrhotic patients admitted in our Department b...
