Evaluation and Management of Esophageal and Gastric Varices in Patients with Cirrhosis
Clinics in Liver Disease, 2020Variceal bleeding is a complication of cirrhosis that defines decompensation. Important advances in the management of gastroesophageal varices have led to a significant decrease in the morbidity and mortality. Achieving these results in clinical practice is contingent on clinicians applying the best practice strategies and appropriate referral to a ...

Hepatic hemodynamic features in patients with esophageal or gastric varices
Journal of Hepatology, 1993One 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.

Injection sclerotherapy for the management of esophageal and gastric varices
Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2005The 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.

A method for facilitating endoscopic diagnosis of esophageal varices and gastric lesions [PDF]
The American Journal of Digestive Diseases, 1966 The use of an endotracheal cuff on the esophagoscope improves the visualization and accuracy of diagnosis of esophageal varices. The addition of a modified endotracheal cuff to the flexible gastroscope with a movable tip enhances visualization of the lesser curvature of the antrum and of the pylorus.

Gastric Ulcers after Endoscopic Sclerosis of Esophageal Varices
Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 1985Two 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.

Endoscopic Hemostasis of Esophageal and Gastric Variceal Bleeding with Histoacryl
Endoscopy, 1990Endoscopic injection of the tissue adhesive n-butyl-2-cyano-acrylate (Histoacryl) has been tried for esophageal or fundic variceal bleeding in 23 patients. Definitive hemostasis was achieved in 22 with a single injection of Histoacryl. Throughout the entire hospitalization period, which was completed with at least two weekly sessions of conventional ...

Experience with a left gastric venacaval shunt for esophageal varices
The Japanese Journal of Surgery, 1983A 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 ...

Role of serotonin in development of esophageal and gastric fundal varices
Menoufia Medical Journal, 2020Objective The aim was to determine the role of plasma free serotonin concentrations on the development of esophageal and gastric fundal varices. Background Esophageal and gastric varices are a serious consequence of portal hypertension in patients with the chronic liver disease.

Gastric Varices Bleed at Lower Portosystemic Pressure Gradients than Esophageal Varices
Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2017To 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 ...

High-Dose Left Gastric Angiography for Demonstration of Esophageal Varices
Radiology, 1972High-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.
