Bleeding Outcomes Following Transesophageal Echocardiography in Patients With Cirrhosis and Esophageal Varices

Hepatology Communications, 2021
Despite scant evidence, current guidelines indicate that esophageal varices are a relative contraindication to transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). The aim of this study is to compare the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding following TEE among cirrhotic

Rotational Thromboelastometry (ROTEM) Versus Conventional Coagulation Tests in Cirrhosis: Can We Reduce Plasma Transfusion Without ROTEM?

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
ROTEM showed a strong correlation with conventional coagulation tests (CCTs) but failed to assess re‐balanced hemostasis. Similar to ROTEM, using higher CCT thresholds may help reduce unnecessary plasma transfusions before invasive procedures. ABSTRACT Background Periprocedural rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) could reduce transfusions while ...

Non-invasive predictors of esophageal varices

The Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology, 2011
Background/Aim: Current guidelines recommend screening cirrhotic patients with an endoscopy to detect esophageal varices and to institute prophylactic measures in patients with large esophageal varices.

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 ...

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.

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

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.

Hepatopulmonary syndrome in children and adolescents with portal hypertension in Brazil: A multicenter study

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives To describe the clinical and laboratory characteristics and outcomes of pediatric hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) secondary to portal hypertension (PH) in Brazil. Methods Fifty‐four pediatric patients diagnosed with PH and HPS according to the European Respiratory Society criteria were included in this multicenter retrospective study.
