Abstract
We analyzed 40 paired measurements. Median age was 22 years. Median liver stiffness measurement (LSM) was 15.4 kPa (12.1-19.6) by TE and 8.0 kPa (7.0-10.3) (P = 0.001) by 2D SWE. There was weak correlation between the modalities (r = 0.41, P = 0.004). There was no correlation between time since Fontan and LSM by TE (r = 0.15, P = 0.19) or 2D SWE (r = 0.19, P = 0.13). There was no difference in LSM irrespective of whether sonographic cirrhosis was present or absent by TE (17.4 kPa [15.9-23.6] vs. 14.9 kPa [12.0-19.4], respectively, P = 0.6) or 2D SWE (9.0 kPa [2.8-10.5] vs. 8.0 kPa [6.7-10.1], P = 0.46). There was no correlation between AVV S/D ratio and LSM by TE (r = 0.16, P = 0.18) or 2D SWE (r = 0.02, P = 0.45).
