Twenty-five rabbits with esophageal varices were randomized to no treatment (n = 10) or endoscopic paravenous sclerotherapy of the varices (n = 15). Five other rabbits served as sham-operated controls. When they were killed, the mechanical strength and collagen content of the esophagus were
Endoscopic sclerotherapy with Aethoxysclerol 2% was carried out in rabbits with esophageal varices. Nineteen animals were injected paravenously, and 17 were injected intravenously. The animals were killed between 1 h and 4 weeks after injection for histologic examination of the esophagus. None of
Endoscopic injection of sclerosing agents is a strategy for control of esophageal varix bleeding. Five percent solution of ethanolamine oleate(EO) has been used as sclerosing agent. It is well known that intravascular injection of oleic acid induces acute respiratory failure in animal models.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the safety and usefulness of a two-tiered approach to balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (B-RTO) as a treatment for large gastric varices after portal hypertension.
METHODS
50 patients were studied who underwent B-RTO for gastric varices between October 2004
BACKGROUND
Proximal or "downhill" esophageal varices are a rare complication of superior vena caval (SVC) obstruction. Few reports describe downhill varices in dialysis patients with catheter-related SVC occlusion.
METHODS
We studied a case of downhill esophageal varices in a dialysis patient from
OBJECTIVE
The relationship between the presence of villous edema (VE) in portal hypertensive enteropathy and clinical factors remains unclear. The aim of this study was to reveal the clinical factors related to VE in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC), and investigate the clinical significance of
BACKGROUND
Portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis causes manifestations such as esophageal varices, ascites and edema. Some studies have been conducted about the role of esophageal varices in the development of esophageal motor disorders and abnormal gastroesophageal reflux in these
Twenty six autopsy cases treated by endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (an intravariceal injection method) using ethanolamine oleate were examined for morphological changes in relation to the time intervals following injection. Red thrombi obliterated in the varices were recognized within 20 days of
OBJECTIVE
Membranous obstruction is the most common cause of Budd-Chiari syndrome in Orientals. Recently, percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (PTBA) has been successfully applied as a treatment of membranous obstruction. We evaluated etiologies and clinical manifestations in our cases and
Budd-Chiari syndrome presents with ascites, edema and bleeding from esophageal varices. Presentation as bleeding scrotal varices is rare. We report a patient with Budd-Chiari syndrome who presented with recurrent bleeding from scrotal varices for 20 years.
21 patients with inferior vena cava (IVC) or hepatic vein (HV) stenosis were treated by autologous pericardial patch angioplasty. Postoperative recovery was uneventful and the patients were followed up for 4 to 51 months. Signs of ascites, edema or varices in the lower extremities, and hepatomegaly
A patient had bilateral tympanic membrane rupture and otorrhagia, an unusual complication of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). CPAP, applied by a bag/mask system using disposable spring valves, was used to treat acute pulmonary edema during volume resuscitation and vasopressin therapy for
BACKGROUND
Schistosomiasis is a highly prevalent disease. It can evolve to its hepatosplenic form in up to 10% of the cases. The small-bowel lesions developed during the hepatosplenic stage of the disease have not been described in vivo.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to describe, for the first
Upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage is one of the most important complications in portal hypertension secondary to schistosomiasis. Esophageal varices and gastric mucosal lesions are additional sources of bleeding. We studied the histologic and ultrastructural features of gastric mucosa in rabbits
OBJECTIVE
Prophylactic endotracheal intubation (PEI) is often advocated to mitigate the risk of cardiopulmonary adverse events in patients presenting with brisk upper GI bleeding (UGIB). However, the benefit of such a measure remains controversial. Our study aimed to compare the incidence of
