Gastrointestinal varices are associated with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Variceal hemorrhage is a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality, with esophageal and gastric varices the most common source and rectal varices a much less common cause of severe gastrointestinal bleeding. The goals of managing variceal hemorrhage are control of active

The Treatment of Esophageal Varices
Annual Review of Medicine, 1992The etiology, the geographic variation in pathology, and the level of hepatic reserve all affect the prognosis in patients with bleeding from esophageal varices. Acute variceal bleeding requires emergency treatment. The options include pharmacological therapy, balloon tube tamponade, and urgent sclerotherapy used singly or in combination.

There is increasing evidence of non‐invasive measurement using elastography such liver stiffness (LS), spleen stiffness (SS), and LS‐spleen diameter to platelet ratio score (LSPS) for detection of esophageal varices (EV); however, data regarding ...

Clinical significance of esophageal variceal pressure in patients with esophageal varices [PDF]
Journal of Hepatology, 1994 In 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.

Sclerotherapy of Esophageal Varices
Archives of Surgery, 1980Sclerotherapy of esophageal varices is being reevaluated by many surgeons because of increasing dissatisfaction with shunting procedures. A new technique of sclerotherapy using the flexible fiberoptic endoscope with balloon tamponade of variceal channels is being evaluated. To date, 18 patients have been treated by us with this method.

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 1994
Numerous conditions lead to portal hypertension with the development of esophageal varices. Treatment for acute variceal hemorrhage should progress in a logical, stepwise fashion. Therapy after fluid resuscitation includes vasopressin, somatostatin, or a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube.

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.
