The American Journal of Surgery, 1990
Bleeding from esophageal varices is related to the size and pressure of varices, endoscopic danger signs, and severity of liver failure. Prevention of bleeding with propranolol has given conflicting results in controlled trials, but is a safe treatment.

Pregnancy and esophageal varices
The American Journal of Surgery, 1982A review of the case histories of 53 patients with established cirrhosis who had 83 pregnancies and 38 noncirrhotic patients with varices who had 77 pregnancies suggests that conception may occur in patients with varying degrees of hepatic decompensation, that sustaining gestation to term and delivery is unlikely to overtax cirrhotic livers in patients

Esophageal Varices in Children
The American Journal of Nursing, 1972pends on prompt and skillful medical and nursing care. Although a nurse may not encounter these children often, she should be familiar with the problem. Normally, blood from the digestive tract empties first into the portal system, or liver circulation, before returning to the heart via the inferior vena cava.

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 2018
Noninvasive evaluation of portal hypertension is needed for cirrhotic patients with large esophageal varices. This study was aimed at assessing the diagnostic value of liver/spleen stiffness in predicting hepatic vein pressure gradient (HVPG) in this ...

Management of esophageal varices
Current Gastroenterology Reports, 1999Of the consequences of portal hypertension, varices carry the most sinister implications. During life, the risk of hemorrhage from varices hangs like a "sword of Damocles" over a cirrhotic's head. Hemorrhage, when it occurs, expedites the patient's demise, or often itself proves to be the terminal event.

Cineradiography of Esophageal Varices
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1964Cineradiography of the esophagus and esophagoscopy were performed on 76 patients with clinically suspected esophageal varices. Varices were diagnosed cineradiographically in 67 patients. In comparing the radiological and endoscopic findings, there was an 85% agreement as to the presence or absence of varices.

Clinical significance of esophageal variceal pressure in patients with esophageal varices
Journal of Hepatology, 1994In 40 patients with esophageal varices, esophageal variceal pressure was assessed endoscopically using a pneumatic pressure sensor. The effects of vasopressin or nitroglycerin on variceal pressure and endoscopic findings were also assessed in two groups of seven patients.

Endoscopy, 2018
Background Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is the standard method for diagnosis of esophageal and gastric varices in children. In this prospective study we evaluated the use of PillCam esophageal capsule endoscopy (ECE) in pediatric patients.

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1974
A retrospective analysis over a 20-year period at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center disclosed 17 cases of portal hypertension and esophageal varices with welldocumented metastatic liver disease as the primary cause. In an additional two cases, metastatic liver tumor was presumed to be the cause of the esophageal varices; four patients had portal ...
