Objective Detect the influence of variceal eradication on portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG). Methods A total of 307 consecutive patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension who underwent elective endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL
n=210) or endoscopic sclerotherapy (ES
n=97) for obliteration of esophageal varices between Jan. 2007 and Dec. 2012 were enrolled for this study. Both groups were compared for clinical data and PHG formation before and after eradication. Results PHG grade after eradication of esophageal varices by EVL was significantly higher than that before eradication
either a week after eradication or 3 months after eradication. PHG incidence and aggravation degree were significantly higher in the EVL group than in the ES group one week after eradication. Conclusion Esophageal eradication with EVL has more impact on the incidence and the severity of PHG
which may result from acute gastric hemodynamic changes.
