Asymptomatic Esophageal Varices Should Be Endoscopically Treated [PDF]

, 1998
Endoscopic treatment has generally been accepted in the management of bleeding esophageal varices. Both the control of acute variceal bleeding and elective variceal eradication to prevent recurrent bleeding can be achieved via endoscopic methods.

A study on non invasive predictors of large esophageal varices using clinical, laboratory and imaging parameters. [PDF]

, 2009
Portal hypertension- a major hallmark of cirrhosis is defined as a portal pressure gradient exceeding 5-10 mm Hg. In portal hypertension, portosystemic collaterals decompress the portal circulation and give rise to varices.

Platelet count to splenic diameter ratio and other noninvasive markers as predictors of esophageal varices in patients with liver cirrhosis

The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology, 2017
Background/Aims: Endoscopy as a screening modality for esophageal varices is becoming difficult because of its invasiveness, cost, and increased burden of liver cirrhosis.

Feasibility Assessment of Microwave Ablation for Treating Esophageal Varices

, 2017
Esophageal varices are a significant complication of portal hypertension. Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) is one of the clinical standards for treating these varices and preventing their hemorrhage.

A Selective Approach to Bleeding Esophageal Varices [PDF]

, 1980
It is possible that the best results of treatment for bleeding esophageal varices will come when a selective approach is used. In patients bleeding acutely and in patients with poor liver function shunt operations should be avoided, and a direct attack ...

A STUDY OF ROLE OF PLATELET COUNT/SPLEEN DIAMETER RATIO AS A PREDICTOR OF ESOPHAGEAL VARICES IN PATIENT WITH CHRONIC LIVER DISEASE

National Journal of Medical Research, 2014
Background: In patients of chronic liver disease, the parameters directly linked to portal hypertension such as splenomegaly and decreased platelet count were predictors of presence of esophageal varices.

Noninvasive diagnosis of esophageal varices: is it feasible?

, 2006
The possibility of identifying cirrhotic patients with esophageal varices by noninvasive means is attractive, because it would allow for the restriction of the performance of screening endoscopy to patients at high risk of having varices. Over the years,

The Risk Factors for Bleeding of Fundal Varices in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis

Gut and Liver, 2013
Background/AimsThe relationship between portal hemodynamics and fundal varices has not been well documented. The purpose of this study was to understand the pathophysiology of fundal varices and to investigate bleeding risk factors related to the ...
