EUS in portal hypertension
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has recently emerged as a most accurate, less invasive and easily repeatable alternative means of providing data on patients with portal hypertension. 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 presence ...
متن کاملSURGICAL EXPERIENCE WITH PORTAL HYPERTENSION DUE TO HEPATOPORTAL SCLEROSIS (NONCIRRHOTIC PORTAL FIBROSIS)
Hepatoportal sclerosis or idiopathic portal hypertension has a worldwide distribution with prevalence in developing and temperate countries. Of 64 patients with this disease seen during a twelve year period, 36 underwent splenectomy or a shunt procedure. The indications for surgical intervention were severe hypersplenism and persistent left upper abdominal pain andlorhistory of frequent ep...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound-guided portal-systemic pressure gradient measurement.
Portal hypertension is defined by the hepatic venous pressure gradient and is measured via a percutaneous transhepatic route [1]. We describe a novel technique for direct portal pressure measurement using endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). A 27-year-old man with Noonan syndrome and congenital heart disease presented with recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding. EUS revealed an extensive network of peridu...

The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) Technology Committee provides reviews of existing, new, or emerging endoscopic technologies that have an impact on the practice of GI endoscopy. Evidence-based methods are used, with a MEDLINE literature search to identify pertinent clinical studies on the topic and a MAUDE (Food and Drug Administration Center for Devices and Radiologic...
متن کاملIdiopathic noncirrhotic portal hypertension: current perspectives
The term idiopathic noncirrhotic portal hypertension (INCPH) has been recently proposed to replace terms, such as hepatoportal sclerosis, idiopathic portal hypertension, incomplete septal cirrhosis, and nodular regenerative hyperplasia, used to describe patients with a hepatic presinusoidal cause of portal hypertension of unknown etiology, characterized by features of portal hypertension (esoph...
