Factors Associated with Aggravation of Esophageal Varices after B-RTO for Gastric Varices [PDF]

CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 2013
To retrospectively evaluate risk factors for aggravation of esophageal varices (EV) within 1 year after balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (B-RTO) of gastric varices (GV) and to clarify suitable timing for upper endoscopy to detect EV aggravation after B-RTO.Participants included 67 patients who underwent B-RTO for GV between January ...

Evaluation of endoscopic secondary prophylaxis in children and adolescents with esophageal varices

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia
BACKGROUND Bleeding of esophageal varices is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in children and adults with portal hypertension and there are few studies involving secondary prophylaxis in children and adolescents.

Percutaneous transhepatic obliteration for life-threatening bleeding after endoscopic variceal ligation in a patient with severe esophagogastric varices

Radiology Case Reports, 2023
We report a case of life-threatening bleeding after endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) in a patient with severe esophagogastric varices that was treated by percutaneous transhepatic obliteration (PTO).

Current Approaches to the Treatment of Gastric Varices: Glue, Coil Application, TIPS, and BRTO

Medicina, 2019
Gastric varices are less common than esophageal varices, and their treatment is quite challenging. Gastric varix bleedings (GVB) occur less frequently than esophageal varix (EV) bleedings and represent 10to 30% of all variceal bleedings.

Verification of thrombus formation just after endoscopic injection sclerotherapy with ligation for esophagogastric varices by venous phase of left gastric arteriography

Radiology Case Reports, 2022
Management of hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is important in the treatment of portal hypertension. We report a case that was treated by a hybrid procedure combining endoscopic injection sclerotherapy with ligation (EISL), left gastric artery ...

Microbubble‐Based Ultrasound Contrast Agents in Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasonography for Managing Portal Hypertension in Cirrhosis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
As the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) remains the current gold standard for diagnosing portal hypertension in cirrhosis, its clinical application is limited by invasiveness, high cost, and restricted availability. Given the urgent need for noninvasive techniques to dynamically monitor portal vein pressure (PVP), contrast‐enhanced ...

Shear wave elastography in assessment of liver stiffness and prediction of gastro-esophageal varices in patients with liver cirrhosis

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2019
Background Shear wave elastography is an ultrasound applied technique used to measure tissue stiffness as a result of a disease. So, it can be used to evaluate liver stiffness as a result of liver cirrhosis and could correlate it with esophageal varices.

Beyond the scope and the glue: update on evaluation and management of gastric varices

BMC Gastroenterology, 2020
Gastric varices are encountered less frequently than esophageal varices. Nonetheless, gastric variceal bleeding is more severe and associated with worse outcomes.

Endoscopic Treatment for Esophagogastric Variceal Bleeding in Patients With Acute‐on‐Chronic Liver Failure: An Observational Study

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
In patients with acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF), esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) represents a critical complication associated with high short‐term mortality. This study evaluated the efficacy of endoscopic treatment in this specific population and identified prognostic factors associated with 6‐week rebleeding and mortality.
