Endoscopic ultrasonography predicts early esophageal variceal bleeding in liver cirrhosis
RATIONALE Bleeding esophageal and gastric varices constitute a serious complication in liver cirrhosis. Previous studies have shown that endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) can be used to predict early esophageal variceal bleeding in liver cirrhosis. PATIENT CONCERNS We report a case of a 46-year-old man with hepatitis B liver cirrhosis (CTP score, 5; Child-Pugh class, A) who was admitted to our...
متن کاملTransjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for acute variceal bleeding in patients with viral liver cirrhosis: predictors of early mortality.

MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-three patients (56 men and 17 women; mean age, 51.3 years) with viral liver cirrhosis who underwent TIPS placement for acute variceal blee...
متن کاملFactors predictive of relapse in variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. A prospective study in patients with liver cirrhosis
Rebleeding occurs in 50-80% of these patients, and in more than half of them, during the first 6 weeks (De Franchis et al 2010; Paunescu et al 2004). Each episode of variceal gastrointestinal bleeding is associated with a 20-35% mortality rate (Cerquiera et al 2009). Variceal rebleeding is a new haemorrhagic episode that occurs later than 5 days from the first one, an interval that defines the ...
متن کاملA case of variceal bleeding from the jejunum in liver cirrhosis
While esophagogastric varices are common manifestations of portal hypertension, variceal bleeding from the jejunum is a rare complication of liver cirrhosis. In addition, ectopic variceal bleeding occurs in the duodenum and at sites of previous bowel surgery in most cases, including of stomas. We report a case of obscure overt gastrointestinal bleeding from jejunal varices in a 55-year-old woma...
متن کاملCovered TIPS for secondary prophylaxis of variceal bleeding in liver cirrhosis
BACKGROUND In the era of bare stents, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is the second-line choice of therapy for the prevention of variceal rebleeding in liver cirrhosis. In the era of covered stents, the role of TIPS should be re-evaluated. AIM The aim of the study was to compare the outcomes of covered TIPS versus the traditional first-line therapy (i.e, drug plus endosco...
