Gastroesophageal varices are present in approximately 50% of patients with cirrhosis and are more frequently observed in patients with poor liver function. Gastric varices (GV) bleed less frequently than esophageal varices (EV) and are the bleeding source in approximately 10–30% of patients suffering from variceal hemorrhage [62]. However, bleeding from GV tends to be more severe with higher mortality. In addition, a high proportion of patients, from 35% to 90%, rebleed after spontaneous hemostasis.
