Management Strategies for Refractory Esophageal Varices
ABSTRACT Refractory esophageal varices that are difficult to control or unresponsive to endoscopic treatment remain a major clinical challenge in the management of portal hypertension. This review provides a comprehensive overview of treatment strategies for these cases, along with a comparative analysis of the American Association for the Study of ...

ABSTRACT Duodenal varices, though rare, are potentially life‐threatening complications of portal hypertension. Management is challenging when balloon‐occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) fails to achieve complete obliteration. Endoscopic ultrasonography‐guided variceal therapy (EUS‐VT) is effective for gastric varices, but reports of ...

ABSTRACT Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is widely used for early esophageal cancer, even in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC). Corticosteroids, administered orally or by local injection, are often used to prevent post‐ESD esophageal stricture. However, their safety in patients with decompensated LC and refractory ascites remains unclear. A man

Objective Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is an underdiagnosed condition that affects young athletes. CECS is caused by increased compartmental pressure in the fascial spaces during exercise. CECS is diagnosed by direct pressure readings (in mmHg), which is a painful and invasive test.
