Comparison of Snare and Large Forceps Biopsies in the Histologic Diagnosis of Gastric Vascular Ectasia in Cirrhosis

Summary To compare snare and large forceps biopsies in the histologic diagnosis of gastric vascular ectasia (GVE) in cirrhosis, two groups of patients were studied: (a) 8 cirrhotic patients in whom endoscopy disclosed multiple gastric red spots (GRS), and (b) 5 cirrhotic patients with no GRS. Histol...

Zusammenfassung:	Summary To compare snare and large forceps biopsies in the histologic diagnosis of gastric vascular ectasia (GVE) in cirrhosis, two groups of patients were studied: (a) 8 cirrhotic patients in whom endoscopy disclosed multiple gastric red spots (GRS), and (b) 5 cirrhotic patients with no GRS. Histologic examination of snare specimens identified dilated capillaries in the mucosa of the stomach in 75 % of the cirrhotic patients with GRS, while large forceps specimens enabled the diagnosis of GVE only in 20 % of the cases (p
