Overview

There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. However, ultrasound can be helpful in establishing portal vein patency prior to transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement in patients with variceal bleeding.

Echocardiography/Ultrasound

There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
