Severe EV according to endoscopy in a 68-year-old man with liver cirrhosis (severe of endoscopy, maximum minor axis 6.28 mm). a The endoscopic image shows severe nodular varices; b the cross-sectional surface area (CSA) of EV (dyeing area) in the transverse section is depicted in 3D slicer; c the axial CT image shows the left gastric vein (LGV) originating from the portal vein (arrow); d 3D reconstruction has a satisfactory performance in visualizing severe EV of the lower esophagus (arrow).
