The correlations of categorical or continuous variables were analyzed by Spearman correlation test. In determining the maximum diameter of a vessel, isolated saccular dilatation of a vessel in venous ectasia or venous aneurysm was excluded. EVs: Esophageal varices; GVs: Gastric varices; LGV: Left gastric vein; PGV: Posterior gastric vein; SGV: Short gastric vein; SRS: Splenorenal shunt; GRS: Gastrorenal shunt.
