Any cirrhotic w/ NEW decompensation should undergo repeat EGD even after a recently normal one. In Child-Pugh B/C & high risk varices, emerging evidence now supports combining NSBB w/ banding for primary prophylaxis (CAVARLY trial) #Hepatology #MedEd #MedTwitter #GITwitter

Schatzki ring may be too wide for dilation yet still cause dysphagia &require disruption (which I always dislike because of bleeding after the first biopsy obscuring the field). Recently I’ve been injecting ultradilute epinephrine first (as in mucosectomy) which REALLY helps!
