| Popis: | Portal hypertension is a major complication of cirrhosis, with myriad complications. The most deadly complication is portal hypertensive bleeding. The intent of this particular chapter in contrast to the endoscopy chapter in this book is to focus on questions that a provider or a learner encounters in the management of portal hypertensive bleeding and to offer some pearls on the diagnosis and management of patients with esophageal and gastric variceal bleeding. In particular, this chapter not only covers areas of consensus regarding the management of portal hypertensive bleeding, but also gives the reader a glimpse of the areas of controversy and provides recommendations for management based on expert opinion. |
