Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2002
The management of portal hypertension (PHT) and variceal hemorrhage focuses on (1) early detection of PHT, (2) early detection of gastroesophageal varices (GEV), (3) prediction of the risk of bleeding, and (4) monitoring the effects of endoscopic and pharmacologic treatments in reducing the risk of variceal bleeding.1 EUS with its unique combination of

Portal Hypertension in Children
2015Portal hypertension (PH) is a common complication in children with chronic liver disease, and its major manifestation, variceal bleeding, represents a major cause of morbidity in this setting.
