| Current ablative therapies for bleeding ectatic vessels have the potential for deep tissue injury leading to ulcerations, perforation, and fistulas. |
| In portal hypertensive gastropathy, the mucosa is friable and bleeding occurs when the ectatic vessels rupture and manifest as mucosal oozing. |
| It is interesting to note, in this context, that only ectatic venules with a diameter greater than 0.3 mm are accessible to sclerosing injections. |
| This type of recurrence is observed all the more frequently when the gastrocnemius veins are ectatic with a large intramuscular blood volume. |
| In the early stages of rosacea the main features are slight edema, ectatic venules and a mild nonspecific perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate in the dermis. |
| Rheumatoid arthritis may be associated with higher risk of corneal perforation in patients with ectatic degenerative diseases such as keratoconus. |
