Endoscopic Ultrasonography In Portal Hypertension
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has recently emerged as an alternative means of providing data for patients with portal hypertension that is more accurate, less invasive and reproducible. It is well established that video-echo endoscopy, with combined endoscopic and sonographic examination, is comparable to endoscopy in diagnosing esophageal varices, but is more sensitive in diagnosing the pre...
متن کاملEndoscopic Management of Portal Hypertension
Cirrhosis is the leading cause of portal hypertension worldwide, with the development of bleeding gastroesophageal varices being one of the most life-threatening consequences. Endoscopy plays an indispensible role in the diagnosis, staging, and prophylactic or active management of varices. With the expected future refinements in endoscopic technology, capsule endoscopy may one day replace tradi...
متن کاملUltrasonography for Noninvasive Assessment of Portal Hypertension
Portal hypertension is a major pathophysiology in patients with cirrhosis. Portal pressure is the gold standard to evaluate the severity of portal hypertension, and radiological intervention is the only procedure for pressure measurement. Ultrasound (US) is a simple and noninvasive imaging modality available worldwide. B-mode imaging allows broad applications for patients to detect and characte...
متن کاملEvaluation of Rectal Varices by Endoscopic Ultrasonography in Patients With Portal Hypertension
The usefulness of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in the evaluation of rectal varices (RV) was determined in 50 patients with portal hypertension (PH) and 25 PH-free controls. F(1) and F(2) varices and angiectasia were specific for the PH group as evaluated by endoscopy, but there was no difference between the PH and the control groups with respect to the frequency of blue vein. The detection ...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasonography-guided placement of a transhepatic portal vein stent in a live porcine model
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Percutaneous portal vein (PV) stent placement is used to manage PV occlusion or stenosis caused by malignancy. The use of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has expanded to include vascular interventions. The aim of this study was to examine the technical feasibility and safety of EUS-guided transhepatic PV stent placement in a live porcine model. MATERIALS AND METHODS...
