Pathomorphology of Esophageal and Gastric Varices

Seminars in Liver Disease, 2002
In this article, the gross pathology of varices and supplying veins are described comparing esophageal varices and varices of the cardia and fundus of the stomach. The angioarchitecture of the lower esophagus is such that normally very thin parallel veins in the lamina propria mucosae in the palisade zone become enlarged in portal hypertension and join

The Effect of Endoscopic Sclerotherapy of Esophageal Varices on the Development of Gastric Varices

Endoscopy, 1996
The effect of sclerotherapy of esophageal varices on the development of gastric varices is a controversial question. The aim of the present study was to evaluate prospectively the presence and development of gastric varices as a consequence of esophageal variceal sclerotherapy.We prospectively studied 227 patients, all of whom had liver cirrhosis at ...

Hepatic hemodynamic features in patients with esophageal or gastric varices

Journal of Hepatology, 1993
One hundred and fifty cirrhotic patients with or without esophageal varices and/or gastric varices were investigated by endoscopy and hepatic venous catheterization to evaluate differences in the degree of portal hypertension, main portal venous diameter and frequency of portal systemic encephalopathy.

Gastric Varices Without Esophageal Varices

JAMA, 1977
THE ROENTGENOGRAPHIC demonstration of fundal gastric varices by the conventional upper gastrointestinal examination is notoriously difficult. 1-3 Though it is generally believed that most patients with esophageal varices will also have gastric varices, the latter are rarely verified with the conventional upper gastrointestinal examination. 2 The normal

Gastric Varices Bleed at Lower Portosystemic Pressure Gradients than Esophageal Varices

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2017
To quantify and compare portosystemic pressure gradients (PSGs) between bleeding esophageal varices (EV) and gastric varices (GV).In a single-center, retrospective study, 149 patients with variceal bleeding (90 men, 59 women, mean age 52 y) with EV (n = 69; 46%) or GV (n = 80; 54%) were selected from 320 consecutive patients who underwent successful ...

Varices: Esophageal, Gastric, and Rectal.

Clinics in liver disease, 2020
Gastrointestinal varices are associated with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Variceal hemorrhage is a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality, with esophageal and gastric varices the most common source and rectal varices a much less common cause of severe gastrointestinal bleeding. The goals of managing variceal hemorrhage are control of active

High-Dose Left Gastric Angiography for Demonstration of Esophageal Varices

Radiology, 1972
High-dose left gastric angiography gave consistent demonstration of esophageal varices in 11 patients. In addition, in comparisons with splenoportography and other types of arterial portography, results of high-dose left gastric angiography were consistently superior.
