Coexisting Gastric Varices Should Not Preclude Prophylactic Ligation of Large Esophageal Varices in Cirrhosis

Digestion, 2009
<i>Background/Aims:</i> Coexisting gastric varices at baseline or the risk of their formation during treatment could alter the approach for primary bleeding prophylaxis in patients with large esophageal varices. <i>Methods:</i> Data analysis of 152 patients with cirrhosis and large esophageal varices included in the German ...

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 ...

Gastric and esophageal varices: 20-MHz transnasal endoluminal US.

Radiology, 1993
To image esophageal and gastric varices qualitatively and to measure esophageal varices quantitatively, 29 patients with portal hypertension underwent transnasal esophageal and gastric ultrasonography (US). Twenty-three patients underwent standard endoscopy. Endoluminal US demonstrated the varices as anechoic areas with communications in the submucosal,

Hemodynamic effect of the left gastric artery on esophageal varices in patients with cirrhosis

Journal of Gastroenterology, 2016
To examine the hemodynamic effect of the left gastric artery (LGA) on the esophageal varices (EV) in cirrhosis.This was a prospective study performed in 48 cirrhosis patients (35 men, 13 women; median age 61.6 ± 11.3 years, range 38-83 years) with EV (medium 35, large 13), who underwent selective LGA angiography, hepatic venous catheterization ...

Endoscopic diagnosis, grading and predictors of bleeding in esophageal and gastric varices

Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2005
The majority of patients with cirrhosis will develop varices during their lifetime. At least a third of these patients will bleed from their varices and despite significant improvements in treatment and diagnosis of first variceal haemorrhage, the mortality still remains high (30%).

Portal hemodynamics in patients with gastric varices

Gastroenterology, 1988
The hemodynamic features of gastric varices are not well documented. The purpose of this study was to investigate the nature of hepatofugal collateral veins, their origins, the direction of blood flow in the major veins and collateral veins, and portal venous pressure.

Inadvertent gastric balloon inflation within the chest in the management of esophageal varices

Critical Care Medicine, 1986
Balloon tamponade of esophageal variceal hemorrhage is palliative therapy which is associated with a certain incidence of morbidity, perhaps mortality. Three cases of intrathoracic inflation of the gastric balloon of such tubes are described. The precise mechanism of thoracic placement remains uncertain.
