The Role of Endoscopic Ultrasound for Esophageal Varices

Diagnostics, 2020
Esophageal varices are caused by the development of collateral circulation in the esophagus as a result of portal hypertension. It is important to administer appropriate preventive treatment because bleeding varices can be fatal.

Use of single-use ultra-slim endoscopes for evaluation of pediatric esophageal varices: A pilot feasibility study. [PDF]

JPGN Rep
ABSTRACT Esophageal varices (EV) need monitoring in patients with portal hypertension. In 2022, a single‐use ultra‐slim (3.5 mm) gastroscope was approved for use in children and adults. This study evaluated if an ultra‐slim gastroscope could evaluate, grade, and corroborate the presence of EV in sedated pediatric patients as compared to standard oral ...

Efficiency and Safety of Endoscopic Injection Sclerotherapy With Ligation for Esophageal Varices: A Retrospective Study. [PDF]

DEN Open
ABSTRACT Objectives Endoscopic injection sclerotherapy with ligation (EISL) is a combined endoscopic treatment that involves endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) and endoscopic variceal ligation. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of conventional EIS and EISL in treating esophageal varices and the usefulness of EISL.

Endoscopic Injection Sclerotherapy With Pre-deflation Ligation for Prolonged Sclerosant Retention in Esophageal Varices: A Case Report. [PDF]

DEN Open
ABSTRACT Esophageal varices are a common complication of portal hypertension, and prophylactic endoscopic injection sclerotherapy with ligation (EISL) is an established treatment option. Effective variceal thrombosis requires sufficient intravariceal retention of the sclerosant, because ethanolamine oleate exerts its thrombogenic effect through ...

Delayed Argon Plasma Coagulation After Endoscopic Injection Sclerotherapy for Esophageal Varices Reduces Recurrence Risk. [PDF]

DEN Open
ABSTRACT Objectives Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is commonly used as consolidation therapy after endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) for esophageal varices (EVs); however, the optimal timing of APC remains unclear. This study evaluated the association between the EIS–APC interval and clinical outcomes.

Platelet Count/Spleen Diameter Ratio and Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient for Screening Parameters of Esophageal Varices in Decompensated Hepatic Cirrhosis: An Observational Study [PDF]

Journal of Nepal Medical Association
Introduction: In low- and middle-income countries like Nepal, with limited resources, the oesophagogastroduodenoscopy facility may not be available widely due to its high cost and availability constraints.

Are Hepatic Vein Waveform and Damping ‎Index Valuable in Prediction of Esophageal ‎Varices in Cirrhotic Patients?‎ ‎‎ [PDF]

Afro-Egyptian Journal of Infectious and Endemic Diseases, 2022
Background and Study aim: Liver cirrhosis is the main leading cause of esophageal varices. Loss of architecture with ‎subsequent portal hypertension leads to disturbance of blood flow in hepatic circulation.

Genetic predisposition to porto‐sinusoidal vascular disorder: A functional genomic‐based, multigenerational family study

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
A deleterious variant of FCHSD1 results in mTOR pathway overactivation and may cause porto‐sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD). The pedigree of the family demonstrated an autosomal dominant disease with variable expressivity. Whole‐genome sequencing and Sanger sequencing both validated the existence of the FCHSD1 variant and the heterozygosity of c ...
