Abstract

Gastric varices and portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) are an important complication of both generalized and segmental portal hypertension. The natural history and risk factors for bleed from GV are not extensively studied as that for esophageal varices. Recently, effective therapy for gastric variceal bleed in form of tissue adhesives, balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration of gastric varices (BRTO) has been developed. Further advances are still needed regarding natural history, risk factors, bleeding, and mechanism of GV rupture.
