β-blockers in advanced cirrhosis: More friend than enemy [PDF]

Clinical and Molecular Hepatology, 2021
Nonselective beta-adrenergic blocker (NSBB) therapy for the prevention of initial and recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding in cirrhotic patients with gastroesophageal varices has been used for the past four decades.

Endoscopic Ultrasonography-guided Variceal Therapy as Salvage Treatment for Rebleeding From Duodenal Varices Following Balloon-occluded Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration. [PDF]

DEN Open
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 ...

Elastography-based screening for esophageal varices in patients with advanced chronic liver disease

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2019
Elastography-based liver stiffness measurement (LSM) is a non-invasive tool for estimating liver fibrosis but also provides an estimate for the severity of portal hypertension in patients with advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD).

Successful embolization of subcutaneous mesenteric varices within an ileal conduit in a patient with liver cirrhosis

IJU Case Reports, 2023
Introduction Venous hemorrhage from ectopic varices is potentially fatal. This report describes a rare case in which bleeding from mesenteric varices in an ileal conduit was treated successfully by embolization therapy.

Effectiveness of Gel-immersion Endoscopic Injection Sclerotherapy Under Texture and Color Enhancement Imaging for Esophageal Varices: A Comparison of Variceal Visibility Under Gel With White Light Imaging. [PDF]

DEN Open
ABSTRACT Objective Gel‐immersion endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (GI‐EIS) addresses the technical challenges in intravariceal injection for esophageal varices (EVs). However, gel accumulation may obscure the variceal morphology. Thus, we developed GI‐EIS under texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) and evaluated its effectiveness.

Four-dimensional Flow MRI as a Marker for Risk Stratification of Gastroesophageal Varices in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis.

Radiology, 2019
Purpose To assess the feasibility of four-dimensional (4D) flow MRI as a noninvasive imaging marker for stratifying the risk of variceal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis. Materials and Methods This study recruited participants scheduled for both

An obscure cause of gastrointestinal bleeding: Recurrent duodenal variceal hemorrhage treated with intramuscular octreotide in the absence of portal hypertension

JGH Open, 2023
Duodenal varices (DVs) are ectopic gastrointestinal varices (ECVs) associated with portal hypertension (PH). We present the case of an 82‐year‐old woman who presented with symptomatic anemia secondary to DV hemorrhage diagnosed on ...

Variceal Bleeding Prophylaxis: Variceal Banding or Propranolol [PDF]

HPB Surgery, 2000
Background and Methods: We compared propranolol therapy and endoscopic ligation for the primary prevention of bleeding from esophageal varices. This prospective, controlled trial included consecutive eligible patients who had large varices (＞ 5mm in diameter) that were at high risk for bleeding. The patients were assigned to either propranolol therapy,

Current Approaches to the Treatment of Gastric Varices: Glue, Coil Application, TIPS, and BRTO

Medicina, 2019
Gastric varices are less common than esophageal varices, and their treatment is quite challenging. Gastric varix bleedings (GVB) occur less frequently than esophageal varix (EV) bleedings and represent 10to 30% of all variceal bleedings.
