Q: Question: Is terlipressin more effective in decreasing variceal pressure than portal pressure in cirrhotic patients?
Answer: Our results demonstrate that terlipressin produces significant and prolonged decreases in variceal pressure and variceal wall tension and has intrinsic effects on portal pressure and systemic hemodynamics. Variceal pressure provides a better assessment of the effects of terlipressin administration on esophageal varices than hepatic venous pressure gradient.

A:
yes
