Abstract

Abstract This prospective study of 34 patients with HCV cirrhosis (17 HIV positive) with baseline clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH; HVPG ≥10 mmHg) and SVR after DAA therapy showed that disappearance of CSPH (primary endpoint) is a rare event (6/18 patients; 18%), indicating a persistent risk of clinical progression or death.
