Spleen Stiffness Is Superior to Liver Stiffness for Predicting Esophageal Varices in Chronic Liver Disease: A Meta-Analysis

PLoS ONE, 2016
Background and Aims Liver stiffness (LS) and spleen stiffness (SS) are two most widely accessible non-invasive parameters for predicting esophageal varices (EV), but the reported accuracy of the two predictors have been inconsistent across studies.

Complete esophageal obstruction following endoscopic variceal band ligation [PDF]

, 2013
Variceal hemorrhage is a potential complication of portal hypertension. Besides medical management, endoscopic variceal band ligation (EVBL) has emerged as a promising prophylactic tool proving to be superior to sclerotherapy.

Massive Recurrent Bleeding From Parastomal Caput Medusae

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Ectopic variceal bleeding is a rare but life‐threatening complication of portal hypertension. For severe parastomal variceal hemorrhage unresponsive to conservative therapy, endovascular embolization is a safe, minimally invasive, repeatable, and effective life‐saving alternative, particularly in patients with portal hypertension and hepatic ...

Comparison effectiveness of topical analgesics with and without Entonox for esophagogastroduodenoscopy: A randomized controlled trial

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Abstract Objectives Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is vital for diagnosing and treating upper gastrointestinal symptoms, but patient discomfort and anxiety can affect procedural outcomes. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of topical analgesics with and without Entonox during EGD in terms of procedural success, patient tolerance, and ...

Noninvasive assessment of oesophageal varices presence and size in patients with liver cirrhosis using right liver lobe/serum albumin concentration [PDF]

, 2007
Background/Aim. Liver cirrhosis is a chronic, progressive disease and it is usually accompanied by portal hypertension. The development of oesophageal varices (OV) is one of the major complications of portal hypertension.

Endoscopic Ultrasonography‐guided Variceal Therapy as Salvage Treatment for Rebleeding From Duodenal Varices Following Balloon‐occluded Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Duodenal varices, though rare, are potentially life‐threatening complications of portal hypertension. Management is challenging when balloon‐occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) fails to achieve complete obliteration. Endoscopic ultrasonography‐guided variceal therapy (EUS‐VT) is effective for gastric varices, but reports of ...

Bleeding ‘downhill’ esophageal varices associated with benign superior vena cava obstruction: case report and literature review

BMC Gastroenterology, 2016
BackgroundProximal or ‘downhill’ esophageal varices are a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Unlike the much more common distal esophageal varices, which are most commonly a result of portal hypertension, downhill esophageal varices result ...

Predictors of Delayed Recovery in Ambulatory Advanced Endoscopic Procedures

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background There is a scarcity of data evaluating patient‐related outcomes of advanced or complex endoscopy (ACE) through the post‐anesthesia recovery course. Yet, gastrointestinal distress following ACE can occur commonly, and this may impact recovery length of stay and the approach to post‐anesthesia care.
