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

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

The aim of our study is to evaluate the severity of esophageal varices (EV), based on the computed tomographic portography (CTP) measurement of EV in the distal esophagus and to assess the prediction value of EV volume.A total of 53 EV patients examined by CTP within 4 weeks of upper endoscopy were evaluated, the patients were divided into a ...

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.

Evaluation of ALBI, MELD and Child-Pugh Scores as non-Invasive Predictors of Esophageal Varices
The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2018Background: the prevalence of esophageal varices (OV) in newly diagnosed cirrhotic patients is approximately 60-80% and the 1-year rate of first variceal bleeding is approximately 5% for small esophageal varices & 15% for large esophageal varices.
