“…In our study the mean of congestion index in bleeder group 0.26 ± 0.06 (cm × sec) which was highly significant higher than 0.16 ± 0.02 (cm × sec) in non-bleeder group this may be close related to Abdel Eslam et al, who found that the congestion index of mean portal vein was significantly higher in bleeders 0.26 ± 0.08 (cm × sec) than in patients who have not yet bled 0.18 ± 0.06 (cm × sec) [28]. and also, close related to Wahib et al, who reported that congestion index of subgroup suffered from recurrent bleeding was 0.22 ± 0.02 (cm × sec) was highly significant higher than those of patients did not suffer from recurrent bleeding 0.12 ± 0.01 (cm × sec) [29].…”

Background: Portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) is one of the clinical conditions that can cause chronic gastrointestinal hemorrhage in patients with cirrhosis, manifested by chronic anemia. It is generally diagnosed on the basis of endoscopic features. A new thermal modality has recently been introduced to endoscopy: the argon plasma coagulator (APC). Hemostasis is a main target for the use of APC and its role in ceasing PHG related acute and chronic bleeding is being efficient and safe when studied in the past few years.

“…Although in our study when we choose the same cutoff limit 0.16 (cm × sec) the sensitivity is 100% and specificity 64%. However, choose a cutoff limit (0.13 cm ×s) in discriminating bleeders group from non-bleeders group, so the sensitivity was (10%) only, specificity was 13% [28].…”

“…The presence of larger para-ECV-a variceal diameter of 6.3 mm before EVL and 4 mm after EVL-predicted variceal recurrence. 22 In another study, high Child-Pugh score, peri-ECVs, and PFVs were independent risk factors related to esophageal varices recurrence. 23 Higher hepatofugal flow velocity in the left gastric vein likely contributes to variceal recurrence after endoscopic treatment.…”

Portal hypertension leads to the development of varices along the gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopy plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of varices. Endosonography (EUS) enables visualization and permits access to varices and veins outside the gastrointestinal tract. EUS has emerged as an important tool, with the ability to identify vascular changes, treat gastric and ectopic varices, perform portal pressure measurements, portal venography, and intrahepatic shunt placement. This review discusses the role of endoscopy and the emerging role of EUS in evaluation and management of portal hypertension.

“…Carneiro et al. specifically found that a para‐esophageal diameter of greater than 4 mm after EV eradication had a sensitivity of 71% and specificity of 85% for predicting EV recurrence . These parameters can therefore be useful in surveillance for EV.…”

The diagnosis and management of many gastrointestinal conditions has been augmented by the development of endoscopic ultrasound. Its role in the diagnosis and management of liver disease has been somewhat limited, but with the rapid development of therapeutic advancements it has quickly emerged as a useful tool in the management of complex hepatic conditions. This includes its use in the management of complications of portal hypertension as well as its use in liver lesions and cancer. In this paper, we review case studies, case series and trials for hepatic applications of endoscopic ultrasound to provide an overview of its utilization in this field and demonstrating its more novel applications for future use.
