Elastography-based screening for esophageal varices in patients with advanced chronic liver disease
World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2019 Elastography-based liver stiffness measurement (LSM) is a non-invasive tool for estimating liver fibrosis but also provides an estimate for the severity of portal hypertension in patients with advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD).

Case Report: Diagnosis and Treatment Esophageal Varices
Jurnal Kedokteran Diponegoro, 2023 Background: Esophageal varices are dilated submucosal veins that connect the portal and systemic circulations to the esophagus. It occurs because of portal hypertension (most caused by cirrhosis), portal blood flow resistance, and increased portal vein ...

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.
