- Abstract: Objective To investigate the importance of echoendoscope in identifying common bile duct lesions associated with portal hypertension in liver cirrhosis.Methods From November 2022 to January 2023,a group of 37 individuals suffering from liver cirrhosis,portal hypertension,esophageal,and gastric varices underwent echoendoscope analysis to assess the common bile duct wall's thickness,its width,and to examine its cavity's dimensions.Result The common bile duct's wall exhibited roughness with 97.3%(36/37),with an average thickness of 0.19 cm,a width of 0.47 cm,and flocculent deposits constituting 73.0%(27/37).The typical bile duct exhibited curvature in 13.5%(5/37).None of the patients experienced bleeding either during or following the echoendoscope examination.Conclusion The use of echoendoscope distinctly reveals cirrhosis-induced common bile duct and portal hypertension;a majority of cirrhosis and portal hypertension sufferers exhibit inflammation in the common bile duct;this technique is deemed safe for assessing esophageal and gastric varices in cirrhosis patients.
