Cardiofundal

cardiofundal varices

In practice, most gastroenterologists use the Sarin classification with the main distinction being cardiofundal vs lesser curvature GV.

A multicenter retrospective study [Romero-Castro et al 2013] evaluated 30 patients with gastric varices who were poor candidates for, refused, or had failed transjugular portosystemic intrahepatic shunts and who had cardiofundal varices fed by a single large vessel.
