Downhill esophageal varices: a therapeutic dilemma.

Annals of Translational Medicine, 2018
Esophageal varices can cause life-threatening complications and are most often a sequela of liver disease. Although a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding, downhill variceal bleeding secondary to superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction should be ...

Correlation Between Esophageal Varices and Lok Score as a Non-invasive Parameter in Liver Cirrhosis Patients

The Indonesian Journal of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Digestive Endoscopy, 2016
Bleeding from gastro-esophageal varices is the most serious and life-threatening complication of cirrhosis. Endoscopic surveillance of esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients is expensive and uncomfortable for the patients.

Spleen Stiffness Is Superior to Liver Stiffness for Predicting Esophageal Varices in Chronic Liver Disease: A Meta-Analysis

PLoS ONE, 2016
Background and Aims Liver stiffness (LS) and spleen stiffness (SS) are two most widely accessible non-invasive parameters for predicting esophageal varices (EV), but the reported accuracy of the two predictors have been inconsistent across studies.

Study of the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) C(+405)G (rs2010963) single nucleotide polymorphism on the development of esophageal and gastric varices and risk of variceal bleeding in cirrhotic hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients (VEGF) C(+405)G IN esophageal and gastric varices

Egyptian Liver Journal, 2022
Background HCV infection is a major worldwide cause of chronic liver diseases. Esophageal and gastric varices are common in cirrhotic patients due to concomitant portal hypertension. Variceal hemorrhage is a major decompensating event with high morbidity

Splenic stiffness does not predict esophageal varices in children with portal hypertension

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To investigate ultrasound parameters, particularly splenic stiffness, as predictors of pediatric esophageal varices. Methods We included all children aged 0–19 years who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy, for variceal screening or surveillance, and abdominopelvic ultrasound with splenic elastography measurement.

THE ERECTION AND DETUMESCENCE OF ESOPHAGEAL VARICES [PDF]

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1969
In some cirrhotics dextran infusion has enhanced visualization of esophageal varices. The explanation may be either a nonspecific increase in the blood volume, or an increased flow through the collateral circulation. The increase may be secondary to a greater rise in portal vein pressure than in central venous pressure.Indirect estimation of the portal
