Spleen stiffness accurately tracks early and sustained portal pressure changes after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt

Figure 5 Diagnostic performance of liver stiffness measurement and spleen stiffness measurement for predicting good transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt hemodynamic response. A: Receiver operating characteristic curves for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) hemodynamic response; B: Indicator distributions of spleen stiffness measurement before transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement, liver stiffness measurement after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement, spleen stiffness measurement before transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement, spleen stiffness measurement after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement, Δ spleen stiffness measurement and Δ liver stiffness measurement between good or poor group in predicting a successful hemodynamic response to TIPS. ROC: Receiver operating characteristic; TIPS: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt; Pre-SSM: Spleen stiffness measurement before transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement; Pre-LSM: Liver stiffness measurement before transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement; Post-SSM: Spleen stiffness measurement after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement; Post-LSM: Liver stiffness measurement after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement.
