Gastric varices (GV) are responsible for 10-30% of all variceal hemorrhage.
However, they tend to bleed more severely with higher mortality. Around 35-90%
rebleed after spontaneous hemostasis. Approximately 50% of patients with
cirrhosis of liver harbor gastroesophageal varices. In this review, new treatment
modalities in the form of endoscopic treatment options and interventional
radiological procedures have been discussed besides discussion on classification
and pathophysiology of GV.
