Efficacy and Safety of 60 W Versus 90 W, 4‐s Radiofrequency Applications to the Esophagus‐Adjacent Left Atrial Posterior Wall During Pulmonary Vein Isolation: A Pilot Study

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 5, October 2026.
In this randomized pilot study, 60 W and 90 W QMODE+ RF applications for the periesophageal region achieved comparable acute block and low esophageal injury rates (4.2% each), with similar 1‐year arrhythmia‐free survival, although contact force was higher in the 60 W group.

Liver and Spleen Stiffness as Non‐Invasive Tools Assessing Liver Congestion in Patients With Budd‐Chiari Syndrome

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Assessing liver congestion and portal hypertension (PHT) in Budd–Chiari syndrome (BCS) remains challenging. We evaluated liver and spleen stiffness measurements (LSM, SSM) obtained by transient elastography as non‐invasive tools for identifying clinically meaningful liver congestion in BCS.

Update on management of gastric varices

World Journal of Hepatology, 2019
Gastric varices (GV) have different physiology and clinical characteristics compared to oesophageal varices (OV). There is little information about the management of GV. Most part of the recommendations is extrapolated from studies where the majority of participants had OV. Thus, most recommendations lack of strong evidence.

An Automated Microfluidic System for Haemostasis Assessment in Cirrhosis With Thrombocytopenia

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background & Aims Conventional laboratory tests do not capture platelet–vessel wall interactions (primary haemostasis) occurring in vivo, limiting guidance before invasive procedures. This is relevant in patients with thrombocytopenia, hallmark of advanced cirrhosis. Microfluidic assays may overcome these limitations.

A 7‐mm Covered TIPS Reduces Hepatic Encephalopathy Without Increasing Rebleeding in Cirrhotic Patients With Small Liver: A Randomized Study

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background/Aims International guidelines recommend initiating transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement with an 8‐mm stent. However, there is an evident lack of randomized controlled trials evaluating TIPS diameters < 8 mm in cirrhotic patients with a relatively small liver. The aim of this study was to determine whether 7

Feasibility of transnasal endoscopy in screening for esophageal and gastric varices in patients with chronic liver disease

Endoscopy International Open, 2017
Background and study aims Screening for esophageal and gastric varices is indicated for patients with portal hypertension or cirrhosis. Typically, conventional endoscopy is used; however, the need for sedation increases the costs and risks, especially in
