Core Tip	Endoscopic ultrasound was an important modality in the diagnosis of varices. Recently, high-frequency intraluminal ultrasound (HFIUS) enables quantitative measurement of variceal size, so it is a more sensitive imaging modality for the estimation of the size of varices. So we examined the diagnostic correlation of esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) grades and HFIUS measurements in estimating post-endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) type 1 gastric varices (GOV1). The results suggest that HFIUS measurement is more predictive of GOV1 rebleeding than EGD grading, so HFIUS measurement may be necessary for endoscopic follow-up after EVL in patients with GOV1.
