Objectives: Few attempts have been made to determine the risk factors for the recurrence of esophageal #varices (EV) and the optimal surveillance interval. This study analyzed whether endoscopic ultrasonography can be used to predict EV recurrence and determine the optimal timing for surveillance #endoscopy post-treatment.Methods: We retrospectively evaluated patients with EVs who underwent endoscopic variceal… Continue reading Perforating Veins Detected by Endoscopic Ultrasonography Are Useful in Predicting the Recurrence of Esophageal Varices After Endoscopic Variceal Ligation Combined With Argon Plasma Coagulation
