  • Esophagogastric variceal bleeding is one of the main causes of death in patients with liver cirrhosis,and therefore,early monitoring of esophageal and gastric varices may help to improve the prognosis of patients; however at present,hepatic venous pressure gradient and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy used as the gold standard for diagnosis are invasive examinations,which may not help with long-term follow-up. This article introduces the noninvasive evaluation of esophageal and gastric varices in cirrhotic patients by shear-wave ultrasound elastography.
