The unresolved issue of the optimal treatment of portal hypertension attests to the disappointments in present treatment. In reality, the disappointments are a result of progressive liver disease, which is not helped and probably deteriorates more rapidly after shunting operations.

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 ...

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.

No single treatment for bleeding esophageal varices is appropriate for all patients and situations. An algorithm for management of the patient with acute bleeding is presented in this article. The options for long-term, definitive therapy and the criteria for selection of each are discussed.

AbstractBleeding esophageal varices remain a major problem which has not been solved despite the number of ingenious and imaginative efforts to control and prevent hemorrhage through a variety of surgical, radiologic, pharmacologic, and endoscopic techniques.A surgically constructed portal systemic shunt still remains the most effective method of ...

Abstract Esophageal varices are the result of portal hypertension. Bleeding from varices occurs as the result of nature's attempt to shunt the high portal pressure of the portal bed into the systemic veins. Acute bleeding may be controlled for a short period of time either by the Sengstaken tube or by direct transthoracic ligation of the involved ...

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.
