| Patient with viral liver cirrhosis, with large esophageal varices which persisted after several sessions of endoscopic band ligation, performed in an interval of 6 months. Linear EUS showed the perforant veins (blue arrow) in power Doppler mode, at 35 cm from the incisors. Both esophageal varices and paraesophageal collaterals were visualized in power Doppler EUS. |
