Approach to fundal varices with ⭐️@JuanAbraldes @ggarciatsao @VirginiaHdezGea
🔊8am, Hepato Arena

@EASLedu @EASLnews @Sanchit30497977 @AtoosaRabiee @BrettEFortuneMD @MattiasMandorf1
1⃣Primary prophylaxis of GV #ILC2022
✅Bleeding (Glue > NSBB)
✅Decompensation (NSBB > Glue)
⛔️TIPS/BRTO as prevention

Consider:
👉Proximity to care
👉Liver function (CTP-C vs A)
👉Local expertise
👉Potential transplant

#LiverTwitter @JuanAbraldes @VirginiaHdezGea @ggarciatsao
2⃣GV bleeding in CTP-B9

⭐️Imaging - define anatomy of SPSS/PVT
🏅TIPS > Glue + NSBB:⏬rebleeding

✅EUS-guided therapy⏬rebleeding/recurrence

✅BRTO:
👍liver function
😦worsen varices/ascites -> try spleninc embolization
