Pre-emptive TIPS for the treatment of bleeding from gastric fundal varices: Results of a randomised controlled trial [PDF]

JHEP Reports, 2023
Background & Aims: Bleeding from gastric fundal varices (isolated gastric varices type 1/gastroesophageal varices type 2) represents a major problem because of a high incidence of rebleeding and death with standard-of-care therapy (endoscopic ...

Dual Microcatheter Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration of Gastric Varices: Coil Embolization as a Substitute for Balloon Occlusion

Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 2012
Dual microcatheter retrograde transvenous obliteration (DMRTO) of gastric varices enables dual microcatheters to be advanced to the gastric varices themselves or to a site adjacent to the varices.

Endoscopic ultrasound coil placement of gastric varices: Emerging modality for recurrent bleeding gastric varices

Journal of Digestive Endoscopy, 2014
Gastric varices are the probable source of bleeding in 10-36% of patients, with acute variceal bleeding and carry high mortality and rebleeding rates. Till date, cyanoacrylate glue injection is considered as the standard of care but has high complication

Endoscopic Color Doppler Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Gastric Varices Secondary to Left-Sided Portal Hypertension

Diagnostics, 2014
Gastric varices that arise secondary to the splenic vein occlusion can result in gastrointestinal hemorrhaging. Endoscopic color Doppler ultrasonography (ECDUS) was performed in 16 patients with gastric varices secondary to splenic vein occlusion.

Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration for gastric varices: the relationship between the clinical outcome and gastrorenal shunt occlusion

BMC Medical Imaging, 2010
Background The rupture of gastric varices is associated with high mortality rate. Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (B-RTO), a minimally invasive procedure that was introduced in the mid-1990s, has been widely accepted in Japan ...

Is computerised tomography better than fibreoptic gastroscopy for early detection of gastric varices?

Gastroenterology Review, 2016
Introduction : Video endoscopic diagnosis of gastric varices is particularly limited, owing to the deep submucosal or subserosal location of the varices and the normal appearance of the overlying mucosa.

Usefulness of Microcatheters Inserted Overnight for Additional Injection of Sclerosant after Initial Balloon-Occluded Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration of Gastric Varices

Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 2011
In patients with large gastric varices, dose limitation of the sclerosant can cause difficulties in achieving complete thrombosis of varices during a single balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) procedure.
