Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2018
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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1981
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.

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
