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 ...

Screening for esophageal varices [PDF]
Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2009 Two multicenter trials have evaluated the potential of capsule endoscopy as a diagnostic tool for screening and surveillance of esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients. Their results are similar and show that capsule endoscopy has good performance characteristics, although it is somewhat inferior to esophagogastroduodenoscopy.

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.

Endoscopic ligation of esophageal varices
The American Journal of Surgery, 1988Endoscopic variceal ligation was developed to provide a safe alternative to conventional injection sclerotherapy which is known to be associated with a substantial incidence of non-bleeding treatment related complications. Laboratory studies in portal hypertensive dogs have shown the technique results in obliteration of vascular structures in the ...

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 ...

Esophageal Motility in Cirrhotics with and without Esophageal Varices
Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1989Esophageal manometry was performed in 45 cirrhotics with varices, in 15 cirrhotics without varices, and in 20 normal subjects, to define the effect of varices on esophageal motility. Cirrhotics with varices showed a decreased amplitude of motor waves in the lower half of the esophagus (p less than 0.01), an increased duration of primary peristaltic ...
