OBJECTIVE
We evaluated the effectiveness of catheter-retaining balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO).
METHODS
Patients were divided into 2 groups based on concurrent contrast imaging findings. The primary endpoint was effectiveness, the secondary endpoint was complications, and
Of 309 patients with portal hypertension, gastric varices were found in 48 (16 per cent). While the majority (88 per cent) of the patients had gastric varices in association with oesophageal varices, 6 (12 per cent) patients had 'isolated' gastric varices. Gastric varices were seen significantly (P
To determine the safety and efficacy of N-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate in bleeding gastric varices in children.This retrospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Gastroenterology and Pediatric Surgery in Liaquat National Hospital Karachi Thirty-five consecutive patients with bleeding esophageal varices were treated by repeated endoscopic injection sclerotherapy. During each session the varices were injected with 14 +/- 4.2 ml (mean +/- SD) of 5% ethanolamine oleate submucosally or intravariceally. The varices were obliterated in 31
A prospective randomized trial was performed to compare the efficacy and complications of 1-week (20 patients) and 2-week (20 patients) interval schedules of endoscopic injection sclerotherapy for patients with esophageal varices; 6 were acute, 3 were elective and 31 were prophylactic cases. There
OBJECTIVE
Oesophageal varices are an important complication in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). However, there have yet to be any studies made on treatment of oesophageal varices in PBC. We therefore studied the efficacy and related complications of endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) and endoscopic
Malignant hyperthermia syndrome developed during epidural analgesia in 25-year-old female to be operated on for haemorrhoidal varices. After premedication with diazepam and atropine epidural analgesia was started with lidocaine 300 mg and bupivacaine 50 mg. Signs and symptoms of malignant
Addressing pancreaticobiliary disorders concomitant with gastroesophageal varices remains challenging. The goal of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in cirrhotic and noncirrhotic patients with gastroesophageal
Endoscopic variceal ligation therapy (EVL) seems to be a more effective and safer method than endoscopic injection variceal sclerotherapy (EVS) for treating bleeding esophageal varices. However, EVL may entail a higher recurrence rate than EVS. The aim of this study was to examine whether EVL
During the last decade, the endoscopic sclerotherapy has taken a prominent part in the treatment of digestive haemorrhage following up oesophageal varices rupture. Several complications have been reported after this method: Some of them are of no importance and frequent, occurring in 20 to 60% of
Thirty-three children with esophageal varices due to portal hypertension underwent injection sclerotherapy over a period of 6 yr. Thirty-one completed the sclerotherapy course, and the varices were eradicated in all. In nine, the procedure was performed as an emergency because of continued bleeding
The severity of esophageal variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients justifies prophylactic therapy. A multicenter controlled study was carried out in Languedoc in 116 cirrhotic patients with esophageal varices and no history of bleeding. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups: 60 control
The presence of oesophageal varices is associated with the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Endoscopic variceal ligation is used to prevent this occurrence but the ligation procedure may be associated with complications.To assess the beneficial and Among 7 patients with "pseudolupus" (a lupus erythematodes-like syndrome with antimitochondrial antibodies) an unusual incidence of varicose veins was noted. Reexamination of their histories revealed that all had been taking the same rather uncommon drug "Venocuran" for a prolonged period before
We performed endoscopic sclerotherapy of esophageal varices (ESEV) as an outpatient procedure in a private setting in patients with portal hypertension and a least one previous episode of variceal hemorrhage. Twenty-six stable cirrhotic patients (child's class A, 11 patients; class B, 10 patients;
