متن کاملOesophageal mucosal changes in patients with varices.
Histological examination of oesophageal rings removed at transection for varices reveals dilated intraepithelial blood filled channels. These are present in all oesophageal rings removed at transection for varices. A comparison has been made between rings removed from variceal patients with oesophageal rings removed during resections for oesophageal and gastric tumours. Although a small number ...
متن کاملPlatelet count/spleen diameter ratio as a predictor of esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients.
This letter regards the very interesting paper published in Annals of Hepatology 2009; 8(4): 325-30 by Barrera, et al.1 The authors emphasize an important matter, which is the burden of frequently endoscopying cirrhotic patients in order to verifying for the presence of esophageal varices (EV) and indicating the proper prophylaxis to avoid bleeding. They evaluate the platelet count/spleen diame...
متن کاملExcision of oesophageal varices.
After treating bleeding oesophageal varices for a number of years, mainly by porta caval shunts with oesophageal and gastric transections as a second line of treatment, it was realized that the fact that varices in the intestinal tract are localized could be made use of in their surgical treatment. Bleeding from the rectum in portal hypertension is rare and it never seems to occur from the smal...
متن کاملUsefulness of Noninvasive Predictors of Oesophageal Varices in Black African Cirrhotic Patients in Côte d'Ivoire (West Africa)
Aims. To determine the usefulness of platelet count (PC), spleen diameter (SD) and platelet count/spleen diameter ratio (PC/SD ratio) for the prediction of oesophageal varices (OV) and large OV in black African patients with cirrhosis in Côte d'Ivoire. Materials and Methods. Study was conducted in a training sample (111 patients) and in a validation sample (91 patients). Results. Factors predic...
