Abstract:
At present, endoscopic ultrasound and multi-slice spiral CT portal venography are effective methods to assess the portal vein and collateral circulation. Endoscopic ultrasound can clearly show the blood vessels inside and outside the esophageal wall and in surrounding tissues, as well as the image of perforating branches, but it is still an invasive procedure. Multi-slice spiral CT portal venography can show the arrangement and architecture of the portal vein and its collaterals completely, but it cannot detect the submucosal veins with a small diameter ideally. These two methods have their own advantages and can give a systematic and complete evaluation of portal hypertension, which plays an important role in individualized treatment and management.
