Figure 3 Kiyosue classification of gastric varices.
A: Classification based on efferent pathways: Type 1 (single afferent vein), type 2 (multiple afferent veins), and type 3 (indirect inflow through collateral networks); B: Afferent pathways: Type A (single draining shunt, usually gastrorenal), type B (single shunt with collateral veins), type C (multiple draining shunts), and type D (absence of a major shunt with drainage through small collaterals).
