“…This ability to "see beyond" varices evident on endoscopy has stimulated much research on the various EUS findings in patients with portal hypertension. This has included investigation of the intramural and paramural esophageal and gastric collaterals [9 -15] and perforator veins [16,17] as well as the azygos vein [9]. Doppler EUS has even allowed hemodynamic studies of the azygos vein [7].…”

Using EUS and Doppler EUS, hemodynamic studies of the azygos vein blood flow can be performed, allowing the monitoring of the effects of EIS and variceal obliteration on the superior portosystemic collateral circulation. The clinical significance of the observed changes in azygos blood flow that occur with variceal obliteration should be investigated in further studies and correlated with short-term and long-term outcome.
