Endoscopic 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 کاملUsefulness of Endoscopic Ultrasound in Esophagogastric Varices
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a useful diagnostic tool for evaluation of esophagogastric varices and guidance of endoscopic therapy. EUS can visualize not only collateral veins around the esophagus but also perforating veins that connect esophageal varices with collateral veins. They are associated with high risk of bleeding and early recurrence after initial variceal eradication. Isolated gas...
متن کاملEndoscopic therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Many new and developing endoscopic techniques for treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are now or will soon be available for clinical use. These new therapies are directed to the gastroesophageal junction and include three basic techniques, which are outlined in this review: thermal remodeling and neurolysis of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) zone; bulking or reinforcing of ...
متن کاملEndoscopic screening for varices in cirrhosis: findings, implications, and outcomes.
At least two thirds of cirrhotic patients develop esophageal varices during their lifetime. Severe upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding as a complication of portal hypertension develops in about 30%-40% of cirrhotics. Despite significant improvements in the early diagnosis and treatment of esophagogastric variceal hemorrhage, the mortality rate of first variceal hemorrhage remains high (20%-35...
متن کاملSuccessful Endoscopic Injection Sclerotherapy of High-Risk Gastroesophageal Varices in a Cirrhotic Patient with Hemophilia A
A 68-year-old man with hemophilia A and liver cirrhosis caused by hepatitis C virus was referred to our hospital to receive prophylactic endoscopic treatment for gastroesophageal varices (GOV). He had large, tense, and winding esophageal varices (EV) with cherry red spots extending down to lesser curve, predicting the likelihood of bleeding. Esophageal endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) w...
