Pseudotumor cause by gastric varices
The American Journal of Digestive Diseases, 1977On upper-gastrointestinal examination a patient with cirrhosis of the liver was found to have prominent gastric varices presenting as a pseudotumor near the cardia. The diagnosis of varices was confirmed by gastroscopy and angiography. A correct diagnosis is necessary to avoid an ill-advised biopsy or unwarranted surgery.

Oesophageal and Gastric Varices
The British Journal of Radiology, 1959One hundred patients with cirrhosis of the liver or extrahepatic portal vein obstruction were studied with a view to determine the best technique necessary to demonstrate oesophageal varices. The accuracy of the examination was compared with spleno-portal venograms on the same patients.

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

Gastric Varices Without Esophageal Varices
JAMA, 1977THE ROENTGENOGRAPHIC demonstration of fundal gastric varices by the conventional upper gastrointestinal examination is notoriously difficult. 1-3 Though it is generally believed that most patients with esophageal varices will also have gastric varices, the latter are rarely verified with the conventional upper gastrointestinal examination. 2 The normal

Endoscopic Therapy for Gastric Varices
Clinics in Liver Disease, 2010Bleeding from gastric varices (GVs) is generally more severe than bleeding from esophageal varices (EVs), but is thought to occur less frequently. Although several recent developments in the agents and the techniques have improved the outcome of GV bleeds no consensus has been reached on the optimum treatment.

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. In the cirrhotic patient hemorrhage is usually thought to be secondary to esophageal varices although peptic ulcer and cancer are ...

Endoscopic Diagnosis of Gastric Varices
Endoscopy, 1994In this retrospective study, the presence and appearance of gastric varices were analyzed among patients presenting at Kasr El Aini Hospital with variceal bleeding during the period from 1984 to 1989. Two groups of patients were studied. The first group included 970 patients with documented variceal bleeding with no history of sclerotherapy.

Gastric perforation after endoscopic ligation for gastric varices
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2001Gastric variceal bleeding is a serious complication of liver cirrhosis. Although it occurs less frequently than esophageal variceal bleeding, the associated mortality rate is higher.1 Endoscopic ligation has been used to treat gastric variceal hemorrhage with preliminary results that suggest that it is efficacious in arresting active bleeding.2,3 ...

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 ...
