Frequency of Gastro Esophageal Varices in Cirrhotic Patients with Splenomegaly

Pakistan Journal of Medical Research
Background: 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.

Transcatheter embolization for stomal varices: A report of three patients

Radiology Case Reports, 2021
Stomal varices are rare and ectopic varices defined as dilated portosystemic collateral veins located in sites other than the gastro-esophageal region. These sometimes cause recurrent bleedings and can be life-threatening.
