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 ...

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.

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,

Changes in Liver and Spleen Stiffness by Virtual Touch Quantification Technique after Balloon-Occluded Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration of Gastric Varices and Exacerbation of Esophageal Varices: A Preliminary Study

Ultraschall in der Medizin - European Journal of Ultrasound, 2019
Purpose To assess liver stiffness (LS) and spleen stiffness (SS) values measured by virtual touch quantification (VTQ) technique in the monitoring of portal pressure and their usefulness for the prediction of the exacerbation of esophageal varices (EV ...

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 ...

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.
