Frequency of Gastro Esophageal Varices in Cirrhotic Patients with Splenomegaly
Pakistan Journal of Medical ResearchBackground: Patients with esophageal varices due to cirrhosis have a high propensity to bleed. Changes in hepatic structure result in higher resistance to portal blood flow which causes esophageal varices to form dilated portal veins and splenomegaly ...

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

Association between Liver Stiffness and Gastro-Esophageal Varices in Chronic Liver Diseases
OBM Hepatology and Gastroenterology, 2018 Objective: Elastography is a non-invasive examination method that can estimate the extent of liver fibrosis, measured as liver stiffness (LS). We examined the relationship between gastro-esophageal varices and the LS and how to predict esophageal varices and varices bleeding by LS.
