Sengstaken-Blakemore tube as a rescue treatment for hemorrhagic shock secondary to laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding erosion [PDF]

, 2019
Gastrointestinal bleeding is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) erosion. We present the use of a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube as a treatment device for severe gastrointestinal bleeding

PRIMARY PREVENTION OF BLEEDING FROM ESOPHAGEAL AND GASTRIC VARICES IN PATIENTS WITH PORTAL HYPERTENSION

, 2018
The problem of primary prevention of bleeding from esophageal and gastric varices in patients with portal hypertension is discussed in the review. It was analyzed main views on the mechanisms of bleeding whose study is important to define pathogenetic ...

An interpretable artificial intelligence system for detecting risk factors of gastroesophageal variceal bleeding

npj Digital Medicine, 2022
Bleeding risk factors for gastroesophageal varices (GEV) detected by endoscopy in cirrhotic patients determine the prophylactical treatment patients will undergo in the following 2 years. We propose a methodology for measuring the risk factors. We create

Idiopathic noncirrhotic portal hypertension: current perspectives [PDF]

, 2016
The term idiopathic noncirrhotic portal hypertension (INCPH) has been recently proposed to replace terms, such as hepatoportal sclerosis, idiopathic portal hypertension, incomplete septal cirrhosis, and nodular regenerative hyperplasia, used to describe ...

Splenic stiffness does not predict esophageal varices in children with portal hypertension

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To investigate ultrasound parameters, particularly splenic stiffness, as predictors of pediatric esophageal varices. Methods We included all children aged 0–19 years who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy, for variceal screening or surveillance, and abdominopelvic ultrasound with splenic elastography measurement.

Serum Growth Differentiation Factor 15 Can Be a Novel Biomarker to Predict the Prognosis of Patients With Hepatitis C Virus Cirrhosis After Virus Elimination

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Although direct‐acting antivirals (DAAs) achieve high sustained virologic response (SVR) rates, the long‐term outcomes of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)‐related cirrhosis remain variable. Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), a stress‐induced cytokine, has emerged as a potential biomarker for liver disease ...

Esophageal Varices Bleeding in Portal Hypertension Due to Portal Vein and Splenic Vein Obstruction [PDF]

, 2002
Based on its relation to the liver sinusoid, increased pressure of portal vein can occur at three levels: presinusoid, sinusoid ,and postsinusoid. Obstruction of the presinusoid veins can be caused by extra- hepatic condition such as venous thrombosis ...

Effect of General Anesthesia on Liver and Spleen Stiffness for Predicting High‐Risk Varices in Biliary Atresia

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
In children with biliary atresia (BA), breath‐holding during liver and spleen stiffness (LS and SS) measurement is often difficult, raising concerns about measurement reliability in the awake state. We investigated whether performing LS and SS measurements under general anesthesia—when brief ventilation pauses are possible—could improve diagnostic ...
