Endoscopic Ultrasonography‐guided Variceal Therapy as Salvage Treatment for Rebleeding From Duodenal Varices Following Balloon‐occluded Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Duodenal varices, though rare, are potentially life‐threatening complications of portal hypertension. Management is challenging when balloon‐occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) fails to achieve complete obliteration. Endoscopic ultrasonography‐guided variceal therapy (EUS‐VT) is effective for gastric varices, but reports of ...

Effectiveness of Gel‐immersion Endoscopic Injection Sclerotherapy Under Texture and Color Enhancement Imaging for Esophageal Varices: A Comparison of Variceal Visibility Under Gel With White Light Imaging

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Gel‐immersion endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (GI‐EIS) addresses the technical challenges in intravariceal injection for esophageal varices (EVs). However, gel accumulation may obscure the variceal morphology. Thus, we developed GI‐EIS under texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) and evaluated its effectiveness.
