Screening of esophageal varices in children using esophageal capsule endoscopy: a multicenter prospective study

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.

Esophageal Varices in Children

The American Journal of Nursing, 1972
pends 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.

Predicting Esophageal Varices in Cirrhotic Hepatitis C Virus Patients Using Noninvasive Measurement of Insulin Resistance Variables.

Endocrine, Metabolic & Immune Disorders - Drug Targets, 2018
BACKGROUND & AIMS Esophageal varices (EV) are a major complication of portal hypertension in cirrhotic patients. Screening is essential for all patients with cirrhosis.

Relationship between various hepatic function scores and the formation of esophageal varices in patients with HIV/hepatitis C virus co‐infection due to contaminated blood products for hemophilia

Hepatology Research, 2018
It is reportedly difficult to accurately assess the liver reserve capacity of patients with HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV) co‐infection through contaminated blood products by the Child–Pugh (CP) classification.

Cineradiography of Esophageal Varices

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1964
Cineradiography 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.

Computed Tomographic Portography with Esophageal Variceal Measurements in the Evaluation of Esophageal Variceal Severity and Assessment of Esophageal Variceal Volume Efficacy

Academic Radiology, 2020
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 ...

Evaluation of ALBI, MELD and Child-Pugh Scores as non-Invasive Predictors of Esophageal Varices

The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2018
Background: 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.

Transient Elastography Identifies the Risk of Esophageal Varices and Bleeding in Patients With Hepatitis B Virus–Related Liver Cirrhosis

Ultrasound Quarterly, 2018
This study aimed to analyze the diagnostic accuracy of liver stiffness for predicting esophageal variceal grading and the risk of esophageal variceal bleeding (EVB) in cases of cirrhosis.

Management of esophageal varices

Current Gastroenterology Reports, 1999
Of 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.

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.
