Abstract

The management of portal hypertension (PHT) and variceal hemorrhage focuses on (1) early detection of PHT, (2) early detection of gastroesophageal varices (GEV), (3) prediction of the risk of bleeding, and (4) monitoring the effects of endoscopic and pharmacologic treatments in reducing the risk of variceal bleeding.1 EUS with its unique combination of endoscopic and ultrasonic imaging capabilities has much to offer in the management of PHT and variceal hemorrhage.
