Computed tomography predictors of gastroesophageal varices in cirrhotic patients: the added value of portosystemic collaterals
BackgroundDetection of ‘spontaneous’ portosystemic collateral veins (PSCV) serves as an important tool in diagnosing portal hypertension (PTHN) and...

Novel balloon compression-assisted endoscopic injection sclerotherapy and endoscopic variceal ligation in the treatment of esophageal varices: a prospective randomized study
BackgroundHerein, our group designed a novel technology, termed balloon compression-assisted endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (bc-EIS), which was...

Temporary hypotension and ventilation difficulty during endoscopic injection sclerotherapy for esophageal varices in a child with Fontan circulation: a case report
BackgroundEndoscopic procedures are rarely performed in children with congenital heart disease (CHD); therefore, the associated complications are...

CT hepatic arterial perfusion index does not allow stratification of the degree of esophageal varices and bleeding risk in cirrhotic patients in Child–Pugh classes A and B
PurposeTo evaluate if the hepatic arterial perfusion index (HPI) in liver parenchyma of cirrhotic patients can serve as a surrogate parameter for...

Laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy for transverse colonic varices due to an inferior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula
BackgroundColonic varices are a rare gastrointestinal anomaly often associated with portal hypertension. Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in the inferior...

Partial splenic embolization improved stomal varices in patient with decompensated liver cirrhosis: a case report
A 63-year-old man with decompensated liver cirrhosis was admitted for treatment of stomal hemorrhage. Eighteen months earlier, he was diagnosed with...

A unique case of bleeding from esophageal varices as the first sign of essential thrombocythemia
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a common cause of hospital admission and variceal hemorrhage is responsible for many UGIB cases. Esophageal...

Impact of COVID-19 on endoscopic follow-up of gastroesophageal varices
BackgroundPortal hypertension is considered as a major complication of liver cirrhosis. Endoscopy plays a main role in managing of gastrointestinal...

Number of endoscopic sessions to eradicate varices identifies high risk of rebleeding in cirrhotic patients
Background and aimsRisk stratification to identify patients with high risk of variceal rebleeding is particularly important in patients with...

Predicting the risk of early bleeding following endoscopic variceal ligation in cirrhotic patients with computed tomography
BackgroundLife-threatening bleeding following endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) in patients with cirrhosis rarely can occur. The present study aimed...

Biochemical markers to predict the development of gastrointestinal bleeding and esophageal varices after portoenterostomy in biliary atresia
PurposeGastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) due to esophageal varices (EV) is one of the factors that negatively impact native liver survival of patients...

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) outperforms acoustic force radiation impulse (ARFI) in predicting oesophageal varices in obese NAFLD cirrhosis
PurposeLiver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography has been shown to underperform in high-risk varices (HRVs) prediction in obese...
-
Hepatic venous pressure gradient after balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration and liver stiffness measurement predict the prognosis of patients with gastric varices
BackgroundBalloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) is a treatment option for patients with gastric varices (GVs). This study aimed...

Predicting response to non-selective beta-blockers with liver–spleen stiffness and heart rate in patients with liver cirrhosis and high-risk varices
IntroductionNon-selective beta-blockers (NSBB) are used for primary prophylaxis in patients with liver cirrhosis and high-risk varices (HRVs)....
