Classification of gastric varices. Adapted from Sarin.
Sarin’s classification is defined by the location of the gastric varices in the stomach and their relation to esophageal varices. Sarin’s is the most used classification system.
INTRODUCTION. Gastroesophageal varices are the most common form of portosystemic collateral channels that develop in patients with liver cirrhosis() and serve as conduits for systemic return of spleno-mesenteric venous blood in the setting of elevated portal venous pressure.These vessels are classified as esophageal (EV), gastroesophageal (GEV), or isolated gastric (IGV) varices, and can be.
SARIN’S CLASSIFICATION Gastric varices are categorized into four types based on the relationship with esophageal varices, as well as by their location in the stomach (Figure 1).(7) a. Gastroesophageal varix (GOV) type 1: Extension of esophageal varices along lesser b. Gastroesophageal varix type 2: Extension of esophageal varices along great.
According to Sarin classification, the gastric varices are divided into four types based on their location in the stomach and its association with the esophageal varices. The four different types.

Bleeding risk may increase with the size of gastric varices, CTP classification, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score, presence of portal gastropathy, and the presence of red wale markings, such that individuals with advanced liver disease with large gastric varices and high-risk stigmata may have as much as a 65% yearly incidence of acute bleeding (Kim, 1997; Mishra, 2011).
