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

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 ...

Correlation of Portal and Splenic Vein Diameter with Presence and Size of Esophageal and Gastric Varices in Liver Cirrhosis Patients on MDCT

, 2020
Introduction: Variceal formation depends upon the pattern of dilatation of the portal and various splanchnic veins in patients with cirrhotic liver and portal hypertension. Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) may be helpful in the evaluation of such

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.

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.

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, 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.

Endoscopic Hemostasis of Esophageal and Gastric Variceal Bleeding with Histoacryl

Endoscopy, 1990
Endoscopic 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, 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 ...

Role of serotonin in development of esophageal and gastric fundal varices

Menoufia Medical Journal, 2020
Objective 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.
