EFFECT OF NON-SELECTIVE BETA BLOCKERS ON ESOPHAGEAL VARICES AND PORTAL VEIN DIAMETER IN CIRRHOTIC HCV PATIENTS [PDF]

Zagazig University Medical Journal, 2018
Background: Esophageal varices is one of the major complications of portal hypertension and one of the main causes of death in cirrhotic patients, so prophylaxis from esophageal varices bleeding can decrease the number of deaths in those patients.

Analysis of the treatment outcome of duodenal varices: A retrospective case series of 15 patients from a single institution. [PDF]

DEN Open
Abstract Background & aims Duodenal varices (DVs) are a rare type of ectopic varices occurring in portal hypertension, for which no standardized treatment strategy has been established. This retrospective study analyzed the outcomes of DV treatments in 15 patients. Material and methods All enrolled patients with DVs were treated at a single institution

Review Article - Ectopic varices in portal hypertension [PDF]

, 2005
Varices most commonly occur and bleed in the gastro-esophageal region but ectopic varices can arise at extra-gastro-esophageal locations in the gastrointestinal tract like duodenum, jejunum, ileum, colon, rectum, biliary tree and at the site of a ...

A rare case of bleeding duodenal varices from superior mesenteric vein obstruction -treated with transhepatic recanalization and stent placement

Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2019
Ectopic varices are complex and highly variable entities that are not fully understood. Duodenal varices from pancreatitis have rarely been reported. Ectopic varices have much higher bleeding rates than the more common gastro-esophageal varices, and are ...

Role of Shear Wave Elastography in Chronic Liver Diseases as a predictor of Gastro-Esophageal Varices with Endoscopic Correlation [PDF]

Sohag Medical Journal, 2017
Introduction:Liver fibrosis evaluation is very important for treatment and                            prognosis in patients with chronic liver diseases. The “gold standard” method for liver fibrosis assessment is still considered to be the liver biopsy and histopathology, but in the last years non - invasive methods have increasingly been used ...

Identification of potential metabolic biomarkers in predicting esophageal varices needing treatment in patients with liver cirrhosis

Scientific Reports, 2021
The goal of this study was to determine the diagnostic performance of in vivo quantitative proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) to identify the presence of esophageal varices needing treatment (VNT), as well as investigate its correlation with
