Picrosirius red had a slightly better performance than Masson’s trichrome staining. Future guidelines might consider that a 15-mm-long biopsy, with a fragment 10 mm, is sufficient to rule out cirrhosis in case of suspicion of portosinusoidal vascular disorder with signs of portal hypertension.  \n[https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhepr.2025.101670](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhepr.2025.101670)  \n© 2025 The Author(s) .

However, evidence-based quality criteria for liver biopsy are lacking. This study aimed to determine biopsy length and staining appropriate to rule out cirrhosis.  \nMethods: Liver explants from 12 patients with cirrhosis and 12 with PSVD were selected. Slides were stained with Picrosirius red or Masson’s trichrome. A total of 36,000 virtual liver biopsies were randomly generated, including different biopsy widths (572 and 1,000 μm corresponding to transjugular and percutaneous biopsies, respectively) and lengths (5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm; fragmented 5 + 10 mm and 5 + 5 + 5 mm) . Biopsies were assessed by an expert pathologist for the presence or absence of cirrhosis.  \nResults: Overall sensitivity of percutaneous biopsies for the diagnosis of cirrhosis was 85%, higher with Picrosirius red (86%) than with Masson’s trichrome (83%) (p \u003C0.001) . Sensitivity increased with the length of percutaneous biopsies, reaching a plateau from 15 mm (88%) . Sensitivity was significantly higher for percutaneous (89%) than for transjugular biopsies (84%) (p \u003C0.001) . A plateau was also observed from 15 mm for transjugular biopsies. Fragmented biopsies with at least one 10-mm-long fragment (5 + 10 mm) had similar sensitivity as 15-mm-long biopsies. Diagnostic accuracy was lower in case of Laennec A cirrhosis, HBV-associated disease, or incomplete septal fibrosis. Validation by a second pathologist gave similar results.  \nConclusions: For the diagnosis of PSVD, the minimum length of liver biopsy to exclud","cbCaitVWLKhf0mZs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitVWLKhf0mZs","pdf",2164918,"English","# Background & Aims\n# Methods\n## Endpoints\n# Results\n# Conclusions","[{\"question\":\"What is the primary goal of the study regarding liver biopsies in suspected PSVD?\",\"answer\":\"To determine biopsy quality criteria that maximize sensitivity for diagnosing cirrhosis, since ruling out cirrhosis is the first step when PSVD is suspected.\"},{\"question\":\"What minimum biopsy length is recommended to exclude cirrhosis in suspected PSVD?\",\"answer\":\"A minimum liver biopsy length of 15 mm, with at least one fragment of 10 mm, is sufficient to exclude cirrhosis.\"},{\"question\":\"How do staining method and biopsy route affect sensitivity?\",\"answer\":\"Picrosirius red performs slightly better than Masson’s trichrome for excluding cirrhosis.
