متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound-guided hemostasis of rectal varices.
The prevalence of rectal varices in patients with cirrhosis ranges from 38% to 56% [1]. While lower gastrointestinal endoscopy can help diagnose rectal varices, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) may be more accurate in patients with smaller varices [1]. Reports are limited, but techniques for EUS-guided hemostasis of rectal varices include: injection sclerotherapy [2], band ligation [3], embolization...
متن کاملEndoscopic hemostasis in acute esophageal variceal bleeding.
Acute variceal bleeding (AVB) is a milestone event for patients with portal hypertension. Esophageal varices bleed because of an increase in portal pressure that causes the variceal wall to rupture. AVB in a patient with cirrhosis and portal hypertension is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The initial management of these patients includes proper resuscitation, antibiotic pro...
