Abstract:【Objective】 To investigate the endoscopic features of esophageal and gastric varices in 1078 liver cirrhosis patients. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 1078 patients with varices were analyzed who received endoscopy in our center from Nov 2011 to June 2012. The severity of esophageal varices were divided to EV1, EV2 and EV3. The portal hypertensive gastropathy were divided to mild and severe. The gastric varices were divided to GV1, GV2, GV3, GV4 and IGV with a new typing method. The ranked data was analyzed by rank sum test. 【Results】 In all patients, there were 17 IGV (19.66%), 333 EV (30.89%), 728 EV with GV (67.53%) and GV1 42.31%, GV2 14.42%, GV 19.78%, GV4 23.49% among them. 542 (50.28%) patients had no PHG, 324 (30.06%) patients and mild PHG, and 212 (19.66%) had severe PHG. The incidence of PHG related to the severity of EV (P =0.0023) but didn’t related to the type of varices (P >0.05). 【Conclusion】 Most varices in liver cirrhosis were EV with GV in our country and the most common type was GV1 among them. And the GV4 patients was considerable, too, which could be a new type. The incidence of PHG was increased with the severity of EV.
