Portal hypertension: influence on management
Abstract
In treating cases of portal hypertension, it is important to know the intramural, extramural, and communicating vascular structures of the esophagus and stomach using EUS. From these structures, suitable treatment for the esophagogastric varices can be selected and the efficacy of treatment can be evaluated.
