the study aims to evaluate the role of similar technology of Narrow Band Imaging VIST video intelligent staining technology in the diagnosis of Gastric Antral Vascular ectasia in cirrhotic patients
VIST (Video intelligent staining technology) is used to the diagnosis of GAVE as the form of ectatic vessels in the antrum in instead of erosions in the antrum by White light endoscopy which can mislead the diagnosis to Portal hypertension gastropathy. Targeted biopsies are taken and examined histopathologically in order to see if matching with VIST view. In addition, CD61 is used to highlight the diagnosis for more confirmation. CD61 is an immunohistochemistry platelets marker.

Efficacy of Narrow Band Spectrum endoscopy for the diagnosis of Gastric antral vascular ectasia in cirrhotic patients
It is done by the new technology of VIST which is similar to Narrow Band Imaging in the diagnosis of Gastric antral vascular ectasia in cirrhotic patients that were misdiagnosed before as portal hypertension gastropathy
Time frame: it is estimated to be 12 months
