Clinical Outcomes and Transitional Care Following Endoscopic Variceal Treatment in Pediatric Portal Hypertension
Endoscopic therapy is effective and safe for pediatric EGV, although recurrence is common. In young adults, long-term outcomes are determined more by adherence and successful transitional care than by variceal severity. Structured transitional programs are essential for preventing loss to follow-up and improving survival in pediatric-onset portal hypertension.
