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.

Gastric mucosal lesions in cases of nonshunting procedures for esophageal varices. [PDF]

Hiroshima journal of medical sciences, 1985
Gastric mucosal lesions in 74 patients with esophageal varices for whom the nonshunting procedure was given in our institute from 1973 to 1983 were studied. Out of 9 patients of operative death, the direct cause of death in 2 patients was acute gastric mucosal lesion (AGML), and both patients belonged to Child C according to Child's Classification. The

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 ...

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

Gastric Ulcers after Endoscopic Sclerosis of Esophageal Varices

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 1985
Two patients with bleeding esophageal varices underwent endoscopic sclerosis. Each developed a gastric ulcer of the fundic mucosa approximately 6-7 cm below the gastro-esophageal junction. It seems probable that these lesions were related to the retrograde flow of sclerosing solution into the venous system which drains the gastric mucosa.

Experience with a left gastric venacaval shunt for esophageal varices

The Japanese Journal of Surgery, 1983
A left gastric venacaval shunt for esophageal varices was performed in six patients in attempts to selectively decrease left gastric venous pressure without decreasing portal venous pressure. The left gastric venous pressure decreased from 140-390 mmH2O to 140-200 mmH2O after the left gastric venacaval shunt, while the portal venous pressure remained ...

Injection sclerotherapy for the management of esophageal and gastric varices

Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2005
The development of esophageal and gastric varices is an important complication of portal hypertension with significant morbidity and mortality. Endoscopic variceal sclerotherapy (EVS) was the first and, for many years, the only successful endoscopic method available for the treatment of bleeding varices.

Endoscopic Treatment of Acute Esophageal and Gastric Variceal Bleeding

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America
Acute variceal bleeding is a serious complication of portal hypertension. This most often manifests as bleeding from esophageal varices. Although less likely to occur, bleeding from gastric varices is usually more severe. The best endoscopic management for acute esophageal variceal bleeding is band ligation and this often proves to be definitive ...
