Pathomorphology of Esophageal and Gastric Varices
Seminars in Liver Disease, 2002In this article, the gross pathology of varices and supplying veins are described comparing esophageal varices and varices of the cardia and fundus of the stomach. The angioarchitecture of the lower esophagus is such that normally very thin parallel veins in the lamina propria mucosae in the palisade zone become enlarged in portal hypertension and join

Endoscopic classification of gastric varices
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 1990Endoscopic observations of gastric varices in 124 patients were classified according to form, location, and color. Form was classified into three types: tortuous (F1), nodular (F2), and tumorous (F3). Location was classified into five types: anterior (La), posterior (Lp), lesser (Ll) and greater curvature (Lg) of the cardia, and fundic area (Lf). Color

Clinical Importance of Gastric Varices
New England Journal of Medicine, 1960GASTRIC varices are being seen increasingly often in the patient presenting acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage. This increased frequency is associated with a greater number of cirrhotic patients found in hospital practice.

Endovascular Management of Gastric Varices
Clinics in Liver Disease, 2014Bleeding from gastric varices is a major complication of portal hypertension. Although less common than bleeding associated with esophageal varices, gastric variceal bleeding has a higher mortality. From an endovascular perspective,transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) to decompress the portal circulation and/or balloon-occluded ...
