Shear wave elastography in assessment of liver stiffness and prediction of gastro-esophageal varices in patients with liver cirrhosis [PDF]

Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2019
Background Shear wave elastography is an ultrasound applied technique used to measure tissue stiffness as a result of a disease. So, it can be used to evaluate liver stiffness as a result of liver cirrhosis and could correlate it with esophageal varices.

Pre-Emptive TIPS for Acute Variceal Bleeding: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. [PDF]

Int J Hepatol
Background There is evolving evidence regarding whether pre‐emptive transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (p‐TIPS) improves outcomes in patients with acute variceal bleeding. This meta‐analysis is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of p‐TIPS compared with standard care in reducing mortality and rebleeding in high‐risk patients with cirrhosis.
