Comparison of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt with covered stent and balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration in managing isolated gastric varices [PDF]

, 2017
OBJECTIVE: Although a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is commonly placed to manage isolated gastric varices, balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) has also been used. We compare the long-term outcomes from these

A comparative study of multi-detector CT portography versus endoscopy in evaluation of gastro-esophageal varices in portal hypertension patients [PDF]

Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2020
Abstract Background Portal hypertension is a major complication resulting from obstruction of portal blood flow, like cirrhosis or portal vein thrombosis, that leads to portal hypertension. MDCT angiography has become an important tool for investigation of the liver as well as potentially challenging varices by detailing the course of these tortuous ...

Study of Portal Vein Diameter and Spleen Size by Ultrasonography and Their Association with Gastro-esophageal Varices

Nepalese Journal of Radiology, 2017
 Introduction: Upper Gastro-intestinal endoscopy is considered the best screening tool for varices in cirrhotic patients. It is still an expensive, invasive tool, has poor compliance and not routinely available in every hospitals in Nepal. This study was undertaken to establish the role of portal vein diameter and spleen size by ultrasonography in ...

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.
