ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To determine whether there is any difference in variceal distribution between patients with and without a history of esophageal variceal bleeding. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
To compare the distribution of varices, abdominal CT scans of 24 patients with a history of esophageal variceal bleeding (hemorrhagic group) and 90 patients without a history of bleeding (non-hemorrhagic group) were retrospectively assessed.RESULTS:
The most common varices in both the hemorrhagic (n = 21, 87.5 %) and nonhemorrhagic group (n = 53, 58.9 %) were coronary varices, with a statistically significant frequency (p < .01). Esophageal varices were also more common in the hemorrhagic than the nonhemorrhagic group (n=19, 79.2 % vs n = 36, 40.0 % P < .005). Splenorenal shunts were more common in the nonhemorrhagic (n = 8, 8.9 %) than in the hemorrhagic group(n = 0, 0 %) (P < .05). Other types of varice such as paraumbilical (n = 10, 41.7 % vs n = 21, 23.3 %), perisplenic (n = 6, 25 % vs n = 15, 16.7 %) and retroperitoneal-paravertebral (n = 11, 45.8 % vs n = 24, 26. 7 %) were more common in the hemorrhagic group, but without a statistically significant frequency.CONCLUSION:
The frequency of coronary and esophageal varices was significant in patients with a history of esophageal variceal bleeding. In patients without such a history, splenorenal shunts were seen.
